Identity Cards Bill

With great respect to the right hon. Gentleman, that sounds to me like a pretty typical report from the members of the Home Affairs Committee. They say, ““We concede that this is a matter of fundamental importance to the relationship between the individual and the state, but it doesn’t matter: we’ve got a whole range of other reasons that we can invoke for making such a change.”” We have seen some pretty remarkable Select Committee reports over the years, but that one just about takes the biscuit.
