Proof of Identity: Digital Technology
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department has undertaken an equality impact assessment in relation to linking its proposed digital ID scheme with right-to-work checks.
Answered by Josh Simons
The new digital ID will be designed to be inclusive. We will launch a public consultation in the coming weeks and have already started to engage with a range of expert organisations and community groups. These considerations, and views from the consultation, will inform ongoing assessments on the impact on equality.
