  I thoroughly dislike the idea of a digital ID, but I still believe it would massively the Government’s ability to detect fraud, avoid multi-agency failures and support better data-led decision making - I could conceivably see these changes leading to significantly more than £1.8 billion in savings over a relatively short time-span.

  This does not mean I support it in any shape, but I think it’s important to acknowledge that it isn’t only a means of better controlling people, but it could offer real tangible efficiency savings.
