Identity Cards Bill

In regard to my Amendment No. 218 to Clause 23(4)(a)—the Minister may not want to answer this here and now—the whole of Clause 23 is about Clauses 19 to 22. It is, if you like, subsidiary to those clauses and amplifies them. However, Clause 23 (4) states that:"““The Secretary of State may by regulations make it a condition of providing information to a person””." It continues,"““(a) that that person (where not specified in sections 19 to 22)””." What is still obscure to me is, if the person is not specified in Sections 19 to 22, how can that be consonant with the structure of the clause which is pendant to those sections? I am not expecting an answer off the cuff because these are deep matters, but I did not follow that bit.
