National Identity Cards

Baroness Sharples Excerpts

Wednesday 16th November 2016 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

My Lords, the noble Lord mentioned a number of areas in which there is fraud and counterfeiting. I am sure that in terms of identity cards, it is no different in trying to obtain them fraudulently.

[Baroness Sharples (Con)]

Is my noble friend aware that I twice asked this Question of different Governments many years ago and received exactly the same Answer as was received today?

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

My Lords, I think that is probably because the Government have not changed their position on this subject.
