Clause 31 - Tampering with the Register etc.
Identity Cards Bill
4:45 pm

Mr Des Browne (Minister of State (Citizenship, Immigration and Counter-Terrorism), Home Office; Kilmarnock and Loudoun, Labour)
In no way do I hold myself up as an expert on algorithms. However, I know of a sufficient definition of modification at line 19 of clause 43, which I am confident covers the very circumstances that the hon. Gentleman has figured. With that confidence, I shall sit down. As always, between now and any other time that I might speak to the Bill, I shall reflect on how confident I have been. If I am less confident then, I will make it perfectly clear.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 31 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clause 32 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
