Identity Documents Bill

It may assist the Committee at the next of the stage of the Bill if I say that subsection (3), which the Government may look at again, is probably otiose. It is only an offence for person P, with improper intention, to have in P’s possession. The defence just stated was ““not with improper intention””. A carer trying to collect a parcel has no improper intention. It means that either we have ““improper intention”” wrong or subsection (3) is otiose. I still believe that this should be taken back so that people can think about it.
