Identity Cards Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 6 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Identity Cards Bill.
My Lords, did the noble Baroness hear my noble friend explain that one of the great advantages of what is proposed is that when you intimate a change of your circumstances to the national identity register, it is envisaged that that will enable other departments to be informed of that change in circumstances? That will be a substantial benefit for everyone, but especially for old people, who will not have to go through the tedious job of informing every department. It will automatically be done. Is that not one of many, many advantages of the national identity card scheme, which is why it is overwhelmingly supported by a large majority of people in this country?
