Proof of Identity: Digital Technology
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, for what reason the People's Panel participants will need to stay in a hotel overnight; if there will be multiple locations or sessions, and what is the timetable.
Answered by Mr James Frith
The People's Panel on Digital ID brings together a diverse group of 120 individuals from across the United Kingdom, selected through a random postcode sortition process to be broadly representative. The Panel will convene over seven workshops, four of which are held in person in Birmingham over two weekends therefore requiring participants to stay overnight. The deliberative workshops are taking place throughout May and June 2026.
