Building a model that respects privacy is essential if users are to place and maintain their trust in identity assurance.</p><p>PQ 8509 relates to verified user identities. ‘Success’ in the context of verified user identities is measured as the percentage of people with a verified identity who are then ‘matched’ with the departmental service they are attempting to access. The matching rates vary for each service depending on the data held and the matching needs of that service. For some services, for example Universal Credit, it is required that the user must match an existing record within the service. This is not required for all services, as the user may not previously have accessed that service, for example claiming for redundancy payments.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hertsmere answering member printed Oliver Dowden grouped question UIN 133586 133587 133588 133589 133590 133591 133592 133593 133595 133596 133597 133598 133599 133600 133601 question first answered 11/04/2018 11:21:48 answering member 4441 label Biography information for Oliver Dowden

It would normally be a Minister of the employing department who would provide the certification for the seriousness of the offence if necessary.</p> answering member constituency Hertsmere answering member printed Oliver Dowden question first answered 23/04/2018 10:52:46 answering member 4441 label Biography information for Oliver Dowden
