Identity Cards Bill

I am grateful for that explanation. I am not moving Amendments Nos. 163 and 164 because of the point made by the noble Baroness. I think she said that there could be a discrepancy between the address provided by someone and an address at the DVLA and that that would be ascertained through Clause 11(1)(a) or (b). There would be the right to say to the DVLA, ““Please let us have the address””. I do not quite see where Clause 11(1) (c) comes into the example that she gave. If the request under Clause 11(1)(a) or (b) produced a different address from the one that is recorded or in the application form, why is Clause 11(1)(c) necessary? Presumably, the Secretary of State could go to any other government body specified—virtually any government department, and so on—and get further information about the address that it has about the individual. I do not see how the paragraph comes into it.
