Mr. Garnier: Will the Home Secretary give way?
After the election, the Bill was reintroduced and, yet again, we made it absolutely clear that once a document such as a passport has been designated, obtaining one would also mean being issued with an ID card. Nobody can claim, as the hon. Member for North Southwark and Bermondsey claimed, that our policy has not been entirely consistent on this point from 2002 right the way through. Moreover, no one can claim that in the many debates, in this House and in the other place, there has not been the fullest opportunity to debate these issues fully at every turn.
Mr. Garnier: Even if one accepts the history of the Home Secretary's argument, what does he mean by "on a voluntary basis"? What does that mean, in English?
Mr. Clarke: I have set that out clearly in what I have said, but I shall say it again if the hon. and learned Gentleman wants me to do so. The question, as the hon. Member for Sheffield, Hallam (Mr. Clegg) said, is one of free will. Those are the words he used in his definition. That is the free will that people may exercise in deciding whether or not they wish to have a passport—[Interruption.] That is the free will over what they can do and how they can operate. That is what the wording means.
As I said, I wanted to respond to the points made by the hon. Member for North Southwark and Bermondsey. I hope that the House will now reject the Lords amendments and that we can vote to establish the will of the elected House on this question.
Question put, That this House insists on its disagreement with the Lords in their amendments Nos. 16 and 22, but proposes amendment (a) in lieu:—
