HC Deb 15 November 1951 vol 493 c1150
21. Mr. C. J. M. Alport

asked the Minister of Health when he anticipates that the system of personal identity cards will be abolished.

Mr. Crookshank

This is not a matter on which I have any statement to make at the present time.

Mr. Alport

Would I be right in supposing that that does not in any way detract from the Home Secretary's undertaking yesterday that the matter would be very carefully reviewed in the months ahead?

Mr. Crookshank

Yes, Sir. The Home Secretary was, of course, speaking for the Government.
