The ID cards debate
As I mentioned in an earlier entry, I have reservations about proposals for identity cards and have been raising these concerns by meeting with Ministers from the Home Office including the Home Secretary Charles Clarke, Minister of State Tony McNulty and Parliametary Under-Secretary Andy Burnham. I am pleased that all the Ministers have listened to my concerns. I have also attended a number of briefings on this and will continue a constructive dialogue with the relevant Ministers. I have also asked written questions to raise some of my concerns and to seek clarity on a number of issues. You can see the full details of the questions I asked by clicking here.
