Mandatory Digital ID for 13 year olds: “sinister, unnecessary, and a clear step towards state overreach.”

10 Oct 2025

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to reports that the Government is considering rolling out mandatory digital ID for those aged 13 and up, Victoria Collins, Liberal Democrat Science, Innovation & Technology spokesperson said:

"This is proof that the Liberal Democrats were absolutely right to warn about mission creep.

“The Government is already plotting to drag teenagers into a mandatory digital ID scheme before it’s even off the ground. It’s frankly sinister, unnecessary, and a clear step towards state overreach.”
