Very interesting to hear concerns around national security and an explanation of the issues with the existing working visa ID. I asked the @CommonsHomeAffs panel what risks are posed to an ID system by making it mandatory.

Last week on @CommonsHomeAffs we explored mandatory Digital ID. I know how important this topic is for people in Dagenham & Rainham so will be sharing my contributions today. First one. 👇
