Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, Pursuant to the answer of 12 December 2025, to Question 97383, on Proof of Identity: Digital Technology, how an individual who declines to have a Digital ID Card will be able to complete the mandatory right to work check in the absence of a digital credential for the employee; and whether the employee will be able to continue to present analogue or hard copy documentation.

As the Prime Minister has stated in the House of Commons, there will be checks. They will be digital and they will be mandatory.

We will consult on the technical detail of how this will be implemented.
