Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)
A national identification card is a totally different subject; it is much wider and further than this. That debate is perhaps for another day.
Viscount Stansgate (Lab)
My Lords, the integrity of our electoral system is important. In the light of what the Minister has told the House about the Government’s review, will she now undertake in advance to raise with her noble friend the Leader of the House that we should have an opportunity to debate that review in government time in the autumn?
Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)
I do believe that it was agreed in the legislation that when the review came out it would be discussed by both Houses. If that is not correct, I will correct it in a letter in the Library—but I am pretty sure that that is what was agreed.
