Lords ChamberOne of the reasons this has taken so long is that it is complicated. We in the DCMS, and many others, not least in this House, have spent a long time discussing the best way of achieving this. I am not immediately familiar with exactly what section 6 says, but when the statutory instrument comes before this House—it is an affirmative one to be discussed—I will have the answer ready for the noble Earl.
My Lords, does the Minister not agree that the possession of a biometric card by the population would make the implementation of things such as this very much easier?
In some ways it would, but there are problems with people who either do not want to or cannot have biometric cards.
