To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the answer of 27 April 2026 to Question 125694 on Proof of Identity: Digital Technology, if he will publish the letter sent to selected households inviting them to attend; whether any types of person are not permitted to participate; and what the (a) monetary payment and (b) expenses, travel and subsistence is offered to those attending.
- Answer

All members of the public over 18 were eligible to participate in the People’s Panel, with the exception of:
- Elected representatives
- Paid employees of any political party
- Members of the House of Commons, MPs, their staff, or their spouses and any immediate relatives
- Journalists, or those working for media organisations
This follows industry standards to ensure that participants are able to have open and free discussions.
For information on involvement payment and expenses, I refer to my response in PQ 4156.
