text_body: <p>I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time.</p>
  
  <p>The Aye-voters failed to change the motion for debate to read:</p>
  
  <p class="indent">"This House declines to give a Second Reading to the Identity Cards Bill because it would lead to an unreasonable intrusion into the liberties and privacy of the citizen; it would not achieve benefits proportionate to the cost, as the underlying technology is likely to prove unreliable; and the introduction of such cards is likely to lead to a requirement that they be carried at all times and such a requirement would be objectionable in principle and would lead to serious tension between the police and the citizen."</p>
  
  <p>which could have blocked the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200405/cmbills/008/2005008.htm">Identity Card Bill</a>, had it been adopted.</p>
