The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Stowell of Beeston) (Con)
My Lords, I have only just arrived. It is the turn of the Cross Benches.
Baroness Butler-Sloss (CB)
I thank the Leader of the House. I do not see why we should not try identity cards. Those of us who drive have to carry a driving licence around with us, otherwise there are always difficulties with the police if you get stopped. I really do not know why we should not see whether it actually works. It works in other countries and why, as the noble Lord, Lord Deben, said, should we not learn from other countries and try it here?
