Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department has undertaken an equality impact assessment in relation to linking its proposed digital ID scheme with right-to-work checks.

The new digital ID will be designed to be inclusive. We will launch a public consultation in the coming weeks and have already started to engage with a range of expert organisations and community groups. These considerations, and views from the consultation, will inform ongoing assessments on the impact on equality.
