Dear [Afternoon]

Thank you very much for your recent letter to me with regard to your concerns about the Government’s intention to introduce some form of ID card system in the UK in the future.

May I first of all apologise for the delay in my response to you but this is due to a heavy caseload coupled with the seasonal holidays.

I very much share your concerns and scepticism about the likely efficacy of such a system and would advise you that at the current time if this matter comes before the House of Commons I think that it would be extremely unlikely that I would support it.

If you would like to discuss this mater [sic] in more detail could I suggest that you contact my office and we can arrange a mutually convenient time to meet.

Thank you once again for taking the time to write to me and I look forward to meeting with you in the very near future.

Yours sincerely

Iain Coleman MP
Hammersmith and Fulham
