Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, by how much they plan to reduce their Department's budget to help fund the digital ID scheme.

The Cabinet Office are inviting the public to have their say in the upcoming consultation as we develop a safe, secure, and inclusive system for the UK. No final decisions will be made until after the consultation, including the level of any contribution from the Department for Business and Trade’s budgets towards the scheme.
