Conservative Party Chairman Kevin Hollinrake has accused Labour of “running away from defining a woman” after GB News revealed that new digital identity cards will not say whether the holder is male or female.

The Government’s consultation on the plan stated that “information about sex and gender is not necessary for the intended purpose of the digital ID”.

Mr Hollinrake said Labour were “all over the place on this” and that “they won’t get off the fence”.

“They don't know what to do. They're afraid of setting off some people within their own voter base.

“This means that women do not get the protection they deserve and the rights they deserve.”
