Identity Cards Bill

I shall hold the noble Baroness to that promise. Paragraph (c) shows a deep failing in the Government’s psyche. Those of us who care passionately about such liberties and who believe that the Government are there for us, not the other way round, believe that they are there to say, ““You may do anything you like, except what we tell you not to””. These are very old and dear liberties that we must fight and fight and fight for. Paragraph (c), which means that absolutely everything is put on the wretched register, is a perfect example of what we should resist.
