The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what plans he has to tackle digital exclusion in Gloucester.

Answered by Chris Bryant

Digital inclusion is a priority for me and for Government. It means everyone should have the access, skills, support and confidence to participate in a modern digital society, whatever their circumstances. Work is ongoing to develop our approach to tackling digital exclusion and we hope to announce more on this soon. We look forward to working closely with the third sector, business and local authorities, including those in Gloucester, to ensure our plans are targeted to and based on individual needs.
