Martin Linton gave a speech in favour of compulsory ID cards in which he described himself as "an unashamed supporter of compulsion in ID cards". His main point (as in other debates about ID cards) is that the bill as it stands requires the registration of no more personal data than the current passport or driving licence schemes. In this debate he even compared the required data with the data collected when you register with the NO2ID web site.

That is fine, but why should we have to pay for them. I have nothing against having to have them, but to be ripped off and forced to pay for them is outrageous.
If you want us to have them, make them free for first issue!
