Mr Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Assistant Chief Whip, Whips; Cotswold, Conservative)

I would be grateful if the Minister clarified his thinking on this clause. It allows cross-subsidy with regard to certain groups of people applying for passports. When the Bill comes into effect, the identity card will be an integral part of applying for a passport. Pensioners who apply for a passport have been receiving them free of charge for the last little while; will that also extend to ID cards?
