Electronic Government: Data Protection

Asked by Dr Neil HudsonConservativeDepartment for Science, Innovation and TechnologyTabled Answered 15 April 2026UIN 125374

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether he plans to publish a Data Protection Impact Assessment for GOV.UK One Login before 5 May 2026.

Answered by Ian Murray

We are preparing an easily digestible version of our Data Protection Impact Assessment for publication, which will be published later this year.

We continually develop our Data Protection Impact Assessment to take into account the new identity verification journeys, such as the no photo ID route. We have an obligation to let citizens know how we are processing their data, which we do via a privacy notice published on GOV.UK.
