PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(14 November 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps his Department is taking to help tackle digital exclusion.

Asked by:
Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

Digital inclusion is a priority for this Government and we have already set up a Digital Inclusion and Skills Unit to ensure that everyone has the access, skills, support and confidence to engage in our modern digital society, whatever their circumstances.

This country has been without a digital inclusion strategy for 10 years, and during that time other countries have leapt ahead of us. This Government is determined that that will no longer be the case. I hope to say more on this soon.
