Identity Cards Bill

If the Minister is inclined to be sympathetic towards this group of amendments, will she also be inclined to be sympathetic towards a curtailment of the provisions of Clause 1, and in particular subsection (7)? Schedule 1 falls within the ambit of Clause 1, but that clause allows a far wider collection of physical characteristics than merely face or shoulders. It allows the capture of any,"““physical characteristics . . . that are capable of being used for””" identification. Would the Minister refer to that, because these amendments do not go half way towards the concerns expressed by the movers?
