Title: UK 'Exploring Plan For Digital ID Cards'

Link: https://news.slashdot.org/story/25/06/06/2041...

Mirnotoriety shares a report from the Independent: Downing Street is
exploring a proposal to introduce digital ID cards for every adult in Britain
in a move to tackle the UK's illegal migration crisis, according to reports.
The new "BritCard" would be used to check on an individual's right to live
and work in Britain, with senior No 10 figures examining the proposal, The
Times has reported. The card, stored on a smartphone, would reportedly be
linked to government records and could check entitlements to benefits and
monitor welfare fraud. [...] ... it would cost up to 400 million pounds to
build the system and around 10 million pounds a year to administer as a free-
to-use phone app.
