PROOF OF AGE STANDARDS SCHEME (PASS)

Early day motion 541, tabled 13 October 2016 by Martyn Day (Scottish National Party). Signed by 16 members.

That this House supports CitizenCard and other cards bearing the Proof of Age Standards Scheme (PASS) hologram; recognises the importance of such cards in enabling young adults to access age-restricted premises and goods across the UK; notes that UK retailers, pubs, clubs and other establishments are advised by the police, trading standards and the Home Office to accept proof-of-age cards that bear the PASS hologram; further notes with concern that despite this advice, some establishments such as the Glasgow O2 Academy refuse to recognise the CitizenCard as a valid proof-of-age; and calls on the Government to bring forward proposals to oblige such establishments to recognise PASS cards as valid identification.
