Identity Cards Bill

I am grateful for those comments. As the noble Baroness was speaking I reflected whether, as regards the example she gave of a British citizen being accused of doing something abroad on a day he was in this country, the information in this country could be used to rebut the accusation. Would not that be paragraph 9 information, which is specifically excluded from the purview of Clause 20(2)? The information regarding someone being here on 20 December rather than in Calais is likely to be paragraph 9 information, which comprises an audit trail of the person’s use of the card. I do not see how else it would be provided.
