The public consultation is now open and I encourage you and your constituents to respond.
The design and delivery of digital ID are subject to the consultation outcomes. The feedback from the consultation will inform our final approach and enable a more accurate assessment of costs.
As the Government has stated previously, any costs in this Spending Review period will be met within existing settlements.
