Identity Cards Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Identity Cards Bill.
I know that the right hon. Gentleman wants to make progress, but will he answer a question? I am vexed that he does not entertain the possibility that storing the information centrally will create the opportunity for corruption and the abuse of information. What would he say to those of us who think that the concentration of data in itself will create a considerable temptation for organised criminals to hack into the information and thus institute other methods of fraud and ways of achieving identity theft?
