Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of introducing a digital identity system on levels of equality.

As we build and deliver digital ID, the government will undertake the biggest ever programme to drive digital inclusion, to ensure that every person can access all the benefits of using digital tools to access public services.

We are working with expert organisations and community groups to identify barriers and risks early, and that inclusion programmes reach people where they are.

More details will be set out in our public consultation later this year.
