Digital ID not a silver bullet' to tackle illegal migration, minister says
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Asked whether it was needed to tackle illegal migration, Mr Murray told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme: We've been very clear this is not a silver bullet but it does have two major positives in terms of having a mandatory right to work check. It means it's easier for businesses. It creates that level playing field and fairness for businesses that always do the right thing but are undercut by those businesses that don't."
The Independent highlights its reporting across topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, and requests donations to fund free, paywall-free journalism. The organisation cites investigations into Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights, as examples of on-the-ground reporting. The UK government plans a digital ID system to be rolled out by the end of the Parliament aimed at clamping down on illegal working. The digital government minister said the scheme is not a silver bullet, will aid mandatory right-to-work checks, and raises safety, security and privacy concerns that must be addressed.
