text_body: --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>I beg to move, That the Bill be now read the Third time.</p>
  
  <p>I begin, on behalf of the Government, by thanking all those who have worked hard to bring the Bill to this stage. I associate myself entirely with the comments made by my hon. Friend the Minister for Citizenship and Immigration in commending the work of the Joint Committee and hon. Members from all parties who contributed to that. I thank officials in the Home Office for the consistent and coherent work that they have done over a long time. I also thank the staff of the House for their work to bring the Bill to this stage.</p>
  
  <p class="italic">It being Six o'clock, Mr. Deputy Speaker put forthwith the Question already proposed from the Chair, pursuant to Order [this day].</p>
  
  <p><i>The House divided:</i> Ayes 224, Noes 64.</p>
  
  
  --- COMMENTS AND NOTES ---
  
  (put thoughts and notes for other researchers here)
  <p>This vote means that the Commons have accepted the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200405/cmbills/049/2005049.htm">Identity Cards Bill</a>,  and that, for now, they have finished with it. The Bill will now progress to the Lords, where they will consider it, and then it will come back to the Commons - who ought to consider the amendments/sugestions made by the Upper House.</p>
