137: Identity cards

You could also call this:

"Identity cards for parliamentary security officers"

Illustration for Parliament Bill

The chief executive will give you an identity card if you are a parliamentary security officer. This card will have your name, details about your job, a photo of you, and a special number. You will need to show this card when you are doing your job and someone asks to see it. You must carry your identity card with you when you are working. If someone asks, you have to show it to them. This is so people know who you are and what you do. If you stop being a parliamentary security officer, you must give your identity card back to the chief executive as soon as possible.
