Digital Technology: Proof of Identity
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the proposed digital ID would be the only means of evidencing a person's right to work in the UK.
Answered by Josh Simons
Employers will be required to conduct digital right to work checks by the end of this parliament.
We will be consulting on the details of the programme in due course, including how to help employers of all sizes onboard onto the system and how they will validate the credential to prove an employee's right to work.
