Proof of Identity: Digital Technology
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether (a) exemptions of (b) alternative arrangements for the digital ID system will be offered to people resident in Northern Ireland.
Answered by Josh Simons
We will design this system to ensure everyone who has a right to live and work in any part of the UK can do so easily and securely.
We have already prioritised meetings with senior figures in Northern Ireland and the Irish Government to ensure any new systems work for people on both sides of the border in line with the Good Friday Agreement and Common Travel Area.
