September 3, Fineko/abc.az. UK may begin using a digital passport as a measure to counter illegal migration, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, as quoted by ABC.AZ.

However, The Independent notes that the British authorities have not clarified whether the introduction of such an ID would be mandatory for the entire population.

Supporters of the idea believe the measure would be an important tool in combating forged documents and illegal migrants. Opponents, on the other hand, argue that the initiative infringes on citizens’ privacy rights.
