Today (18th October) the Government's ID Cards Bill moves to its next stage in Parliament, re-appearing in the Commons after its last reading in the Lords.

The Liberal Democrats yesterday criticised the Conservatives for failing to place a '3 line whip' on their MPs to oppose the Government's ID card proposals due for today. With the number of Labour rebels expected to grow, the maximum number of opposition votes are needed to defeat this Bill.

Even if the Bill were to pass the House of Commons tomorrow night the House of Lords is likely to take note of the total Government majority. Commenting, Mark Oaten MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, said:

"Rather than opposing this flawed and illiberal proposal the Conservatives appear to prefer sitting around trying to decide who will be their next leader.
