Lastly, the noble Baroness, Lady Coffey, spent a fair amount of her contribution talking about the impact of the Government’s digital ID plans. To be clear, we are designing the new national digital ID as something people will want to get, rather than something that they must have. There will be no legal obligation for people to have or present the national digital ID. I gently say that she ranged quite widely, including on elements that we possibly covered in another piece of legislation, the Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Act, earlier in the Session.
