I am sorry to repeat myself, but I should like to clarify the point at issue on the designation of BIDs as identity cards. Mr Byrne, the Minister in another place, told the Public Bill Committee that the BID would be designated under the Identity Cards Act as an identity card, whereas the Bill says that the Government want to merge the BID into another document. I asked the Minister whether that meant that there would be a blank identity card into which the BID would be merged. That was my hypothetical explanation for that provision. The Minister did not answer that question. My noble friend tried to repeat the question by quoting Mr Byrne. How does the Minister reconcile what Mr Byrne said in the Public Bill Committee with what the Bill says about merging the BID with another document? He need answer not now but some time.
