Identity Cards Bill has inadequate safeguards, says Parliamentary Committee / OUT-LAW.COM, 25 Oct 2005

"The all-party House of Lords Constitution Committee has published a critical report which reiterates concerns about insufficient safeguards in the Identity Cards Bill. But with a curious history lesson, the Government was quick to reject its comments.
The Government has previously rejected comments about the need for safeguards made by the Home Affairs Select Committee and the Joint Committee on Human Rights."
