  Identity Cards Bill - Clause 5 - Applications relating to entries in Register
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>Those voting Aye removed the Lords amendment to the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200506/ldbills/071/06071.i-ii.html"> Identity Cards Bill</a>.  The <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200506/ldbills/028/06028.1-7.html#j004"> original text</a> had said:</p> 
  
  <p class="indent">5(2) Where an application to be issued with a designated document is made by an individual, the application <i>must </i>[either apply]... to be entered in the [National ID] Register, [or]... state [he] is already entered in the Register and confirm [and correct] the contents of his entry.</p>
  
  <p>The Lords had changed <i>"must"</i> to <i>"may, if he chooses,</i>, so that applying for an Identity Card would be voluntary, and not compulsory for people who needed to have a "designated document" such as a passport.</p>
