I thank the right hon. Gentleman for giving way, but either he has cloth ears or he has problems with semantics. I used to be an English teacher, so I shall give him an English lesson if that is what he wants. In our manifesto, we understood that ID cards would be"““rolling out on a voluntary basis as people renewed their passports””."
We know what that means. If the right hon. Gentleman does not, that is his problem. The House of Lords should implement our proposals and allow the Bill to go through. Does he agree?
