What alternatives are available for company directors unable to use One Login.
Individuals who are required to verify are encouraged to use GOV.UK One Login where possible. This offers several routes, including using photo ID, answering online security questions, or attending a Post Office with appropriate documents. Where an individual is unable to complete verification using any One Login route, they can instead use an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), such as an accountant or solicitor, to verify their identity on their behalf. ACSPs must meet Companies House’s identity verification standard. Companies House also provides tailored support or reasonable adjustment.

Innovation and Technology, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of increasing Ofcom's powers under the Online Safety Act to adequately tackle disinformation and misinformation.
The Online Safety Act provides a strong, proportionate framework for tackling online mis/disinformation. Ofcom has robust powers to hold companies to account if they fail to meet their duties in the act, including significant fines and, in the most serious cases, business disruption measures.Our immediate focus is implementing the Act quickly and effectively so Ofcom can fully use the powers already provided. However, I have been clear that if gaps in the Act remain, I will not hesitate to go further.
What assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of introducing a pause between the order and delivery of alcohol from delivery apps when the order is over a certain amount.
The Licensing Act 2003 regulates the sale and supply of alcohol. The Government recognises that consumer purchasing habits have evolved in recent years, particularly with a notable growth in alcohol sales made via online platforms and rapid delivery services.The Department for Health and Social Care, which has responsibility for policy on health harms, and the Home Office are looking at how current licensing rules apply to these services and monitoring emerging evidence on the impact they may be having on people’s health. I am clear that we will act where necessary to protect public safety.To this end, I will shortly hold a roundtable jointly with the Minister for Public Health and Prevention to consider solutions with healthcare professionals and experts in the field.
