  Identity Cards Bill - Voluntary registration when applying for a passport - rejected
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  <p pid="a.1248.4/1">I beg to move, That this House insists on its disagreement with the Lords in the said amendment.</p>
  
  <p>The Lords had previously rejected a motion from the Commons to insist on compulsion; a lot of negative comments had been made over the Home Office's interpretation of 'voluntary' as stated in their Election Manifesto; to the effect, that to the Home Office 'voluntary' means 'mandated' or 'compulsion through the back-door'. Those voting 'aye' (for the Government) basically said it's fine to have such dodgy wording, and that they should break the manifesto committment to 'voluntary'^w'compulsion; those voting 'Noe' were saying the Lords were right to insist that it shouldn't be the case.</p>
  
  <p>It'll now go back to the Lords...</p>
  
  <p pid="a.1262.1/1"><i>The House having divided:</i> Ayes 310, Noes 277.</p>
