Identity Cards Bill

I support Amendment No. 190. Will the Government think again regarding circumstances where people have subsidised treatment from the NHS? The noble Lord, Lord Phillips, rightly referred to prescription charges. If people who pay prescription charges—I declare an interest because I am required to pay them—are not included, one knocks out a huge tranche of people in this country. I understand the noble Lord’s concerns with the other issues, but Amendment No. 190 has to be considered.
