Identity Cards Bill

My Lords, as the noble Lord, Lord Selsdon, knows, we have debated many of these issues on a number of occasions, not least when the matter was raised on 23 January. I look in particular to the debate on that day that starts at col. 1007 in Hansard. At one stage there was a misunderstanding between us about what was going to be on the card. There was one identity card, if the noble Lord remembers, but then there was the residence permit. I confirm that the nationality will be on the residence permit of a foreign national, which will serve as that person’s identity card. The person’s nationality will be on the residence permit. I know that there was confusion in the past.
