Identity Cards Bill

Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Identity Cards Bill.

The hon. Gentleman begins citing case law, but I shall resist his blandishments. The Government sought to justify the measure by claiming that it will enable us to catch up with other European Union countries. Twenty other EU countries have ID cards. In 10 countries they are compulsory, and in the other 10 they are voluntary.
