Identity Cards Bill

Proceeding contribution from Tony McNulty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Identity Cards Bill.
On the first point, no. We have made it clear from the beginning that the ultimate aim for the programme was compulsory registration. The answer to his second question is also no. We have always said that the most important element of the programme was the database that stands behind the card. In that context, the scheme that we have devised, which does not involve compulsory carrying of the card, is entirely right and proper.
