HC Deb 26 March 1941 vol 370 c597W
Sir J. Mellor

asked the Minister of Health whether, in order to prevent reliance being placed on National Registration identity cards as evidence of identity, he will direct that the word "identity" be deleted from the title?

Mr. E. Brown

My hon. Friend appears to have in mind a somewhat narrow interpretation of the term "identity." The persons who are entitled to inspect National Registration Identity Cards should be well instructed as to the nature of the evidence which they afford; and I have no reason to believe that their title can give rise to any misconception.
