§ Mr. Marlowasked the Lord Privy Seal what arrangements exist in other EEC countries with regard to the possession and presentation of identity documents by the nationals of each country in their home country.
§ Sir Ian GilmourI understand that identity cards are compulsory in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Federal Republic of Germany and optional, but usually carried, in France and Italy. We do not have comprehensive information on the circumstances in which identity cards must be presented, but I am having this compiled and shall arrange for it to be published in theOfficial Report as soon as possible.
