The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the answer of 23 April 2026 to Question 124822 on Proof of Identity: Digital Technology, what the budget is for travel, subsistence and accommodation for the People’s Panel; how many people will be recruited to join that panel; in what location the hotels will be located; and whether subsistence for members and convenors will include allowance for alcoholic drinks.
Answered by Mr James Frith
120 members of the public have been recruited to the People’s Panel on Digital ID, using the methodology outlined in PQ 119977.
In line with standard practice, the costs of economy travel, accommodation, meals and reasonable adjustments to enable inclusive participation in the process will be covered. The costs of alcohol are not included for participants or convenors. All in person sessions take place in Birmingham.
