Opposition Day — [2nd Allotted Day]: HM Revenue and Customs (28 Nov 2007) has video

Kali Mountford: ...that this would happen, but I regret that two other questions have, quite spuriously and wrongly, been thrown into the debate: what should we do about the department, and what should we do about ID cards? They are both wrong, but let us look at the matter. The department is the right way to go. I know that some of my hon. Friends might agree with the Opposition, but I disagree with them....

Opposition Day — [2nd Allotted Day]: HM Revenue and Customs (28 Nov 2007) has video

Kali Mountford: I obviously did not say that, but Opposition Members have been implying that this mistake means the end of ID cards. I was simply suggesting that an added protection for us, in having an ID register, is the fact that it contains our biometrics. It is there in the proposed legislation that, if organisations want to use our biometrics, that additional safeguard is there for us. I think that it...

Kali Mountford: ...we come to decisions about charges and about compulsion, we will pay due attention to those who are on low incomes or on benefits, or who may have other disadvantages in life that make applying for ID card registration or paying for it difficult. Whether in the course of the Bill or secondary legislation, I hope that at some point we pay careful attention to ensure that appropriate...

Orders of the Day — Identity Cards Bill (28 Jun 2005)

Kali Mountford: I have a copy of the "LSE Identity Project Report", and I found in it part of a sentence with which I agree. It states: "The success of a national identity system depends on a sensitive, cautious and cooperative approach involving all key stakeholder groups". I have found little else in the report with which to agree, so I shall examine that proposition. First, the approach must be...
