  Peter Lilley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was rumoured that he had an affair with Michael Portillo, who later admitted to having gay liaisons, when both were ministers in John Major's Government, an allegation he later strenuously denied, famously declaring that homosexuality had to him all the appeal of "eating cardboard".
In 2001 Lilley provoked controversy both in his party and in the wider country (UK) by calling for cannabis to be legalised.
In 2005 Lilley produced a report for the Bow Group centre-right think tank that was highly critical of Government plans to introduce national identity cards.

It is a delusion to imagine that the Tories lost the last election because of the exchange-rate mechanism debacle, or sleaze, or the quirks of the electoral system, and that the public's ardour for Thatcherism remains undimmed.
Lilley thus assaulted the holy of holies, and so he must apparently be offered up as the ritual sacrifice.

Lilley, who has been active in opposition to the scheme in Parliament, echoes Privacy International's suggestion that the ID card could become the Labour Party's poll tax, and the report provides a succinct primer to the flaws of the scheme.
