Chief Minister Alf Cannan says the government hasn't yet looked at what the UK's digital ID scheme could mean for the Island.
During this week's Tynwald sitting, he was asked to make a statement on the issue by Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper.
Mr Cannan said the government here would keep an eye on the proposals as they develop across.
However, he explained the impact couldn't be assessed yet:
Repairs on Peel Power Station to get underway
Manx Care doctor survey to be discussed by Tynwald
Weather warning for snow tonight
MHK queries safety at primary school in Ballabeg
Gales put two ferry sailings at risk tonight
Should the Island throw a birthday party for Barry Gibb?
Warning issued over icy roads
High ground could see 4 inches of snow on Saturday night
