Calton, Patsy 1 Calton, Patsy 2003-11-11 Proposed 21865 2002-03 1907 That this House believes that the Government should think again on identity cards and clarify its position before incurring any expense on identity cards; emphasises that it is essential to be clear on what cards are intended to achieve and whether they can do so; believes that present proposals are catchall efforts to do things that are either impossible or mutually incompatible, such as an identity card, an entitlement card, an answer to theft of identity, a passport, a weapon against terrorism or regulation of immigration and asylum; feels that Government should decide whether it is to be compulsory or voluntary, whether it shall be carried, or produced later on demand, whether it should embody identification information, such as finger prints, iris scans or DNA, which would require a hugh database or whether it should carry information about rights to work, pensions, benefits or NHS treatment; considers that the heavy costs produce a problem of whether it should be paid for by the state, to serve public purposes, or the citizens, most of whom will receive little benefit from it; regrets Government's efforts to stampede support for identity card proposals by using fears of terrorism and asylum seekers, neither of which would be controlled by it; suggests that in the light of all these unresolved problems Britain should let others make the inevitable expensive mistakes rather than rushing in; and further suggests that the Home Secretary should place the proposal in a Home Office drawer, rather than an overloaded Government in-tray.

That this House supports the call for the introduction of a Great Britain Railcard covering the whole of the British rail network and offering rail passengers off-peak discount travel; congratulates Railfuture and The Railway Consultancy for their forward-thinking work on this issue; notes the potential benefits of such a scheme, including a significant increase in rail use by leisure travellers, thereby helping to encourage a switch from road to rail, increased revenues for the rail industry, greater use of existing capacity on off-peak services, and higher levels of social inclusion; points to the high uptake of similar schemes on the Continent and the success in the United Kingdom of the Network South East Card, Senior Card and Young Person's Railcard in stimulating demand for rail travel; and calls on the Strategic Rail Authority and the Association of Train Operating Companies fully to endorse the proposals for such a card and to examine ways of introducing it across the network as soon as possible.

the central locking system; calls upon the Government to ensure that the car company takes full, appropriate and urgent action to alert its customers, and to remedy the defects at its own cost; and calls for the strongest possible action to be taken against Peugeot should anyone suffer injury because of their neglect.
