Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to assist businesses in creating digital identity services.

In 2020 the Government committed to creating a framework of standards, governance, and legislation to enable a UK Digital Identity market. DCMS published a draft Trust Framework in February this year setting out the government’s vision for the rules governing the future use of digital identities. A next iteration is expected to be published this summer. We continue to work on proposals for legislation that will underpin the digital identity market and will consult on these later this year.
