Clause 5 - Applications relating to entries in Register
Identity Cards Bill
11:00 am
Mr Gwyn Prosser (Dover, Labour)
I am listening to the hon. Gentleman's arguments with interest. On the use of fingerprints, compulsory biometric identity cards were introduced for asylum seekers in a brief time and were successful. In all the inquiries I have made of immigration officers in Dover—of which we have quite a number—there has not been a single reported incident of forgery or failure.
