Richard Foord

Liberal Democrat — Honiton and Sidmouth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 October 2025

Debate

Digital ID

Contribution

I have been contacted by a contractor who worked on the last Labour Government’s ID card scheme. He wrote to me that “it was a massive waste of money” and suggested that it could be like “writing Fujitsu a blank cheque”. What sum are the Government setting aside for that cheque to the contractor to pay for the development of digital ID?
