HC Deb 25 March 1943 vol 387 c1791W
Mr. Bull

asked the Minister of Health whether, to economise paper pulp and facilitate use, he will make the coming issue of new identity cards approximately the size of the blue cards carried by Members of Parliament?

Mr. E. Brown

In view of the provision which the new identity card must make for entries of name, National Registration number, address and changes of address, signature, brief instructions and, in some cases endorsement, it has been found necessary to adhere to the size of the existing card.
