Identity Cards Bill

I am very disappointed by the noble Baroness’s reply. She hid behind words in a manner that is not usual for her. Notwithstanding the correct point that she made, does she agree that, given that the minimum standards came about as a result of the Hague programme and that they were based on a Council resolution and prepared using facilities and paper in Brussels, it would have been courteous for the matter to come before the sub-committee of your Lordships’ House and that not to have done so was to show disrespect and disregard for our committee system?
