Identity Cards Bill

Andy Burnham (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Home Office; Leigh, Labour)
In previous discussions, I undertook to write to the hon. Gentleman in order to set out clearly our position. For the record, it is our understanding that the Bill takes care of his concerns, and that subsection (5)(e) does the job that it is supposed to do. However, I owe him a full explanation on this point. I will endeavour to provide him with that, and I am confident that it will give him the reassurance that he seeks. I will write to him in due course.
