Clause 40 - Amendments of legislation
Identity Cards Bill
5:45 pm
Mr Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Assistant Chief Whip, Whips; Cotswold, Conservative)
Will the Minister answer one simple question? When a passport is withdrawn as a result of an offence under the Football Spectators Act 1989 and the identity card as a valid travel document is also withdrawn, how will the people involved access other Government services? If they cannot, the provision could be a real imposition. A solution to the problem is that presumably it would be possible to bar electronically the cards from exiting the country. How will the system work?
