Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 January 2026

Debate

Digital ID

Contribution

We will be consulting imminently, in a range of ways, on how we design this scheme. We want to hear from people, businesses and stakeholder groups across the United Kingdom about what approach works for them. A new digital ID will put power back in people’s hands, helping to make services more personal, joined-up and effective, and ensuring that everyone can access the support that they need, when they need it. I am proud that this Labour Government are building this vital public infrastructure to make government work better for everyone”.
