The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the answer of 27 November 2025 to Question 92613 on Digital Technology: Identity Cards, whether Digital ID will be required for Digital Right to Work checks.

Answered by Josh Simons

As the Prime Minister has recently stated in the House of Commons, there will be checks. They will be digital and they will be mandatory. We will consult on the technical details of how this will be implemented.
