PROOF OF AGE STANDARDS SCHEME (PASS)

Early day motion 2539, tabled 13 December 2011 by Viscount Thurso (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 43 members.

That this House supports CitizenCard, Young Scot, Validate and other cards bearing the Proof of Age Standards Scheme (PASS) hologram which should enable young adults to access age-restricted premises and goods across the UK; notes that although the police, trading standards and retail organisations support PASS, the Home Office states that licensees can decide for themselves whether to accept PASS cards; and calls on the Government to bring forward proposals to oblige licensees to recognise PASS cards alongside photo card driving licences as valid identification.

Signatures by party: Labour 25, Conservative 7, Liberal Democrat 7, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, Alliance 1.
