2hago 1326857 Digital ID 'not a BritCard, and isn't even a card’, says Scottish secretary Douglas Alexander John Swinney referred to the digital ID card as a BritCard because this is term used by the Labour Together thinktank when it produced a report proposing this idea. The submission seems to have influenced government thinking. (See 1.18pm.) But the government is not using this term. Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland this morning, Douglas Alexander, the Scottish secretary, said: 44 The prime minister will not be announcing a BritCard, it’s not called a BritCard, and it isn’t even a card ... We've got boarding passes, train tickets, Tesco Clubcards on our phones already, and I can be very clear that you won’t be required to carry it or produce it except to prove your right to work in the United Kingdom. So people may be inclined to try to play politics or to try and anticipate what this might or might not be, but I can give the assurance that this is not a card, it is a digital ID.
