The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what recent progress his Department has made on improving digital inclusion in the Slough constituency.

Answered by Chris Bryant

The Government published its Digital Inclusion Action Plan in February 2025, which outlines the first five actions we are taking over the next year to boost digital inclusion in every corner of the UK, including Slough.

These will be targeted at local initiatives for boosting digital skills and confidence, widening access to devices and connectivity, and getting support to people in their own communities so everyone can reap the benefits of technology.
