Immigration (Biometric Registration) (Civil Penalty Code of Practice) Order 2008

I did not expect, after my reference to the noble Lord, Lord Avebury, that we would get anything but his usual detailed and courteous explanation of why we should see the error of our ways. For that the Committee can be grateful, but I must emphasise that there are fundamental differences between our parties on this one. Our position, as I set out earlier, is that we support these measures for this limited objective. When we come to deal with the matter of ID cards later, we will have a very robust attitude, but for the moment we support the Government on these measures.
