UK Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on UK Borders Bill.
The Minister made the point that the cards will be used in certain circumstances. Of course, the briefing notes and the research document suggest that the cards will be used in relation to nationality or immigration issues, but that could involve employment, access to benefits, health care, education, following arrest and on imprisonment. There are a large number of occasions when a biometric card would be checked. Is that not the case?
