UK government rolls back key part of digital ID plans
AI Summary
The UK government has scaled back its proposed digital ID plans, specifically regarding proof of right to work. Originally announced in September, the digital IDs were met with controversy. Ministers have now decided that individuals will not be required to use the digital IDs to demonstrate their right to work in the UK. This means that alternative forms of identification will remain acceptable. The decision effectively removes the only planned mandatory aspect of the digital ID program for working-age individuals, significantly altering the scope and potential impact of the initiative.
