The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he is planning to take to ensure Parliamentary oversight of the digital ID scheme in relation to the UN Agenda 2030.

Answered by Josh Simons

The Government’s proposed Digital ID scheme will require primary legislation, ensuring full scrutiny by Parliament.

The Government will consult widely with stakeholders and the public, through a public consultation. The consultation will be open for the public and experts who will be able to share their views on how the scheme is designed and implemented.
