“Really Concerning” | ‘Worry’ Over Digital ID System To Be Introduced By Labour

People will be able to use Government-backed digital identities to buy age-restricted goods, collect a parcel from the Post Office or open a bank account under new Labour legislation.

The Digital Information and Smart Data Bill unveiled in the King’s Speech will underpin a framework for providers to offer trusted digital identity services and make transactions more secure.

The legislation will allow for a system of “trust marks” issued to services that meet the Government’s standards. They would be available to view on a public register of certified services so businesses and users can look them up.

Together Declaration’s co-founder Alan Miller joins Talk’s Ian Collins to discuss this further.
