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.
I am beginning to wish that we had voted against the programme motion, because 90 minutes is clearly insufficient time for a debate such as this. However, the hon. Lady has done me a service, in that she has made my last point for me. If everything that the Government claim about identity cards were true, they would not need to be compulsory because everyone would want them. Clearly it is not, and clearly they do not. That is why the Government want compulsion.
