Identity Documents Bill

Proceeding contribution from Robert Flello (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills on Identity Documents Bill.
I, too, very much welcome you to the Chair, Mr Deputy Speaker. Does my right hon. Friend understand the concerns of my constituents, who have been in touch having bought that voluntary ID card precisely for the reasons that he just gave? They saw it as an opportunity to get proof of identity without going down the route of obtaining a passport and to have something in their pocket? Does he also understand their concerns in writing to me and asking me to vote against this measure because they want either to get some recompense for the card that they have bought, or, if hon. Members will pardon the pun, to passport it for use in another way?
