Dr Luke raises key questions over Labour's mandatory digital ID cards

In last night's debate on the Government's proposal for mandatory digital ID cards, the Secretary of State seemed confused around what 'mandatory' means for people who don't want a digital ID card or are unable to have one, such as the digitally excluded.

I asked for clarity, but only received an answer on what penalties might apply to employers - not the individual.

Can you work out what she meant?

At the start of this month I wrote to the Government outlining my opposition to mandatory digital ID cards and urged them to drop the proposals. I'll also be following up on this question from last night.
