Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, in light of the consultation on digital ID, whether they will make printed information about the consultation available in the premises of public services, including education, local authority and health service premises.

The Government has launched a national conversation to ensure the digital ID system is shaped by all communities.

The digital ID consultation will involve 8 weeks of open engagement – running from 10 March to 5 May - where anyone who wants to take part can share their views in ways that work for them. You can do this online via an online form, by email or by post.

We will also support local conversations and events across the UK to spread awareness and encourage participation. This includes roadshows, roundtables, as well as resources such as a ‘workshop in a box’ to help communities run their own discussions in ways that work for them. To request materials for ‘workshop in a box’, please email workshop@digitalid.cabinetoffice.gov.uk.

After the 8-week open engagement period, we will bring together a broadly representative group of 100-120 people from across the UK to take part in a more in-depth deliberative engagement process.
