Written ministerial statementMade by Sir Keir StarmerPrime MinisterPrime MinisterHCWS981

I am making this statement to bring to the House’s attention the following Machinery of Government update. In order to deliver this cross-government priority, the Cabinet Office will have overall responsibility of the new digital identity scheme, including policy development, legislation and strategic oversight.

The Cabinet Office will work alongside the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), who will be responsible for the technical design, build and delivery; and other departments. This will be effective immediately.
