Written Question
Electronic Government: Personal Records
Tuesday 29th October 2019

Asked by: Eddie Hughes (Conservative - Walsall North)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, on what date funding for gov.verify stops.

Answered by Lord Hart of Tenby

In October 2018, the Cabinet Office announced that government funding would stop in March 2020. GOV.UK Verify provides secure access to 21 government services and has over 5.2 million accounts. The government is committed to ensuring that services are able to access the identity services they need beyond April 2020 and has set out plans for how it will support the creation of a thriving digital ID market.
