The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether he plans to publish the evidence from the Digital Inclusion Strategy Call for Evidence.

Answered by Chris Bryant

The Government published the Digital Inclusion Action Plan in February, which sets out the first steps we are taking towards our ambition of delivering digital inclusion for everyone across the UK, regardless of their circumstances. The Government also published a call for evidence on the focus areas and invited contributions from individual citizens, charities, business, civil society, and subject matter experts. The call for evidence closed on 9 April and details on how the Government expects to respond will be shared in due course.
