Opposition to the British Government’s Mandatory Digital ID Scheme
That this Assembly is united in its opposition to the proposal from the British Government to introduce a mandatory digital ID for people here; expresses concern that this flawed proposal could result in the squandering of millions of pounds of public money at a time when public services are increasingly stretched; and calls for an exemption to be put in place so that citizens here are not included, if the British Government proceeds with its ill-considered digital ID scheme.
