In his report, Sir Mark Walport explains how blockchain can help government collect taxes, issue passports, deliver benefits and “ensure the integrity of government records and services.
“Distributed ledger technologies have the potential to help governments to collect taxes, deliver benefits, issue passports, record land registries, assure the supply chain of goods and generally ensure the integrity of government records and services”.
