Highlights
  • Prime Minister Keir Starmer frames the digital ID as a security measure that tightens work access and could curb illicit border activity linked to underground employment.
  • The government says the plan will help reduce unauthorized immigration by making it harder for people to work in the underground economy and will simplify access to health care and other services.
  • The proposal envisions a mobile-based ID with biometric security and a basic data display, while some details will be decided after a public consultation.
