Shortly after its initial announcement, Government decided “Digital ID cards” would include a physical card.
Government has now realised that writing their consultation questions will take longer than they thought, and so has announced that the ID cards consultation is delayed into next year.
On that point:
Dear Ministers in the Starmer Government,
Did spin from the ‘Blair Government-in-exile’ (and the civil service in residence) make you think ID cards were going to be easy?
When you start to consider some of the topics the Blair Institute didn’t tell you about, NO2ID is always happy to talk through the details.
If you’d like to get in touch, we’re at coordinator@no2id.uk
