question text	To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 30 October 2018 to Question 183994 on Electronic Government: Proof of Identity, for what reason that Answer did not provide an average cost per user to verify identity across those private sector identity providers.
tabling member constituency	Leigh
tabling member printed	Jo Platt
uin	186439
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/11/2018 answer text <p>Our understanding is that this is a request to know the cost of creating digital identities that are used to verify an individual. Users do not pay to verify their identity. It is the private sector that creates digital identity accounts that are then consumed by government services. The costs incurred by these private sector companies, that vary depending on the type of digital identity being created, is information that is held by the relevant commercial organisations</p><p><br> We hope that we have interpreted the Members question correctly. If the Member is asking how much the Government pays to the different private sector companies for the identities they create, this is commercially sensitive information and cannot be released. Any information that may lead to a breach of commercial sensitivity with our private sector suppliers would have a negative impact on the relationship between Government and its partners.</p> answering member constituency Hertsmere answering member printed Oliver Dowden question first answered 13/11/2018 17:41:39 answering member 4441 label Biography information for Oliver Dowden
