Elections Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 6 April 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Elections Bill.

I do not understand what the noble Lord is saying. The last Labour Government started the procedure for introducing photo identity cards for everyone; the Conservatives scuppered the whole scheme. We should have had ID cards for everyone. The Government could then have introduced this, but they cannot when it is only privileged people with passports and driving licences who have photo IDs. The noble Lord should understand that.
