Identity Cards Bill

I wonder whether my noble friend Lord Onslow has understood the situation. I regard the Minister not as a Greek bearing a gift but as the gift by the Greeks. It is her colleagues who are the Greeks. While we are talking about her colleagues, where is the noble and learned father of this Bill, the Lord Chancellor? I deeply regret that he is not here. I should very much like his guidance on this point and I am sure that my noble friend will feel the same.
