Do not expect this from the UK. That fight despite millions of signatures was batted down:

The UK is introducing passed legislation that citizens' digital IDs are owned by a Google or Apple smartphone.

The UK already have such laws active and in force that company directors must submit their information through an app available only from Google or Apple. It is clear 'digital IDs' will go the same way.

It's not about age or attribute verification. It's about tracking. Which Google excel at, the only alternative Apple and their opt-in.

Governments are quite happy making citizens have megacorps track their lives.
