Exactly the same three arguments can be raised about the introduction of ID cards; the same applies to the right to privacy and the need for specific safeguards. The concerns about every aspect of Article 8 can be addressed by drafting—we can sit down and draft those. If they cannot be addressed, then I suggest that the Government Front Bench inform No. 10 that it will need to drop its flagship Summer Recess proposal—the so-called BritCard—because exactly the same arguments will apply in that context.
