Identity Cards Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Identity Cards Bill.
The hon. Gentleman makes just the point that I wanted to make. I am greatly attracted by what my right hon. Friend the Member for Holborn and St. Pancras (Frank Dobson) says because the problem with Government IT contracts is the ongoing costs, which, admittedly, usually come on the back of an overrun on the initial set-up costs. Such costs could be trapped by amendment (a), whereas Lords amendment 70 apparently would not do that. Does the hon. Gentleman agree?
