2:00 pm

David Amess (Southend West, Conservative)
I remind the Committee that with this we are discussing the following:
Amendment No. 46, in clause 5, page 3, line 46, at end insert—
‘(2A) Non-biometric information under subsection (2)(d) shall be limited to—
(a) name,
(b) date of birth,
(c) place of birth,
(d) address,
(e) immigration status, and
(f) National Insurance Number.’.
Amendment No. 73, in clause 5, page 4, line 27, at end add—
‘(7) A biometric immigration document may only be used in connection with an immigration and nationality matter.’.
Amendment No. 24, in clause 15, page 8, line 43, at end insert—
‘(h) “non biometric information” does not include any sensitive personal data (within the meaning of the Data Protection Act 1998 (c. 29)) or anything the disclosure of which would tend to reveal such data.’.
New clause 1—No requirement to carry a biometric information document—
‘Nothing in this Act authorises the making of regulations the effect of which would be to require an individual to carry a biometric immigration document at all times.’.
