Identity Cards And National Identity Register

EDM number 223 in 2004-05, proposed by Neil Gerrard on 29/11/2004.

That this House believes that a convincing case for the introduction of identity cards and a national database has not been made, that they have no discernible benefit, that the introduction of identity cards will fundamentally change the relationship between the citizen and the state, diminish personal privacy and threaten civil liberties, and that identity cards area solution in search of a problem; and calls upon the Government to abandon any plans for their introduction.

This motion has been ammended, see 227A1.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs.
