MSP Positions
At the beginning of November 2004 I wrote to all Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs)
(*)
introducing NO2ID and enclosing a brief survey regarding their views on Identity Cards.
These pages list the responses received.

Scottish National Party,
Banff and Buchan

As a member of the Scottish National Party, I subscribe to the undernoted view, which was
passed by the party membership in 2001:
In the belief that a state requires the consent of the people to exist, but
that people do not require the consent of the state, the SNP will resist any proposal to
introduce compulsory identity cards in a devolved or independent Scotland and will not be
party to their introduction.

(*) Excluding the Presiding Officer who must remain neutral. I have
since been informed that serving Ministers are also prohibited from replying to surveys.
