  • Safer Neighbourhoods (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005
    Sir Ian (Blair), you mentioned, I think it was first time I have heard it mentioned, that you appeared to concede that there is going to be a difference between Safer Neighbourhoods and non-Safer Neighbourhoods. Yet it is your aspiration, it is the aspiration of the MPA and it is the aspiration of Government, to see that every neighbourhood will be a Safer Neighbourhood. When will this happen? When will every neighbourhood be a Safer Neighbourhood, and how do you believe it will be funded?

  • ID Cards (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005
    The database to have to handle this would be massive. The problems of simply creating that database would be huge, and those people, the human link that would have to look after it, would be open to blackmail or inducements by criminal elements.

  • ID Cards (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005
    Sir Ian (Blair), thank you. My point is that having ID cards did not stop the Madrid bombings; having ID cards has not stopped bombings in Russia; the 9/11 hijackers all had valid documents and were able to get into the US; and they did not prevent any of those things, and yet the Government used the argument of having ID cards to justify the whole process, that ID cards would have prevented these when they brought them in. I remember David Blunkett (former Home Secretary) saying it in Parliament.
