Identity Cards Bill

What if the register itself made a mistake? What if, for example, it matched a fingerprint check wrongly and realised afterwards that there had been a bog-up, with potentially serious consequences for the individual whose fingerprints had been wrongly identified? A foreign jurisdiction—one of the things that we were talking about a few minutes ago—might conceivably be involved. Is there any power on the part of the registrar to inform or warn the individual who might be prejudiced in that way? If not, there surely should be.
