The UK’s first Voluntary National Review (VNR) will be published shortly. The VNR will review UK action both domestically and internationally in support of Goal 16.

The Government set up the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation (CDEI) as an advisory body set up by Government and led by an independent board of expert members to investigate and advise on how we can maximise the benefits of these technologies.</p><p>The CDEI is conducting a review into the issue of algorithmic bias in various sectors, including crime and justice. The review will aim to support the development of technical means for identifying algorithmic bias that have scope to be applied across different sectors and produce recommendations to government about how any potential harms can be identified and minimised.</p> question first answered 08/07/2019 13:52:23 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

ESN represents value for money for the taxpayer through delivering steady state savings of over £200m pa compared to Airwave.</p><p>The delay in rolling out ESN means that we will continue to pay for Airwave for longer, at current rates. Local forces will continue to have to pay some Airwave charges as well as for commercial broadband services. There will also continue to be some costs for supporting transition teams. We do not have precise figures for these local costs.</p> question first answered 11/07/2019 16:31:27 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
