<p>As I have previously announced, the forthcoming Digital Strategy will set out how
the Government wants to maximise the benefits of a tech-led recovery to Covid-19,
whilst coherently addressing the challenges it poses. The Strategy will focus on growth
and using tech to power us out of the recession, to drive productivity and to create
jobs in all parts of our economy. For the aspirations of this Strategy to be delivered
successfully, we recognise people will need the capability and confidence to get the
most out of an increasingly digital world. As part of the development process of the
Digital Strategy, we are considering the most suitable ways to embed inclusion objectives
to ensure that all citizens can benefit from a digitally-driven society.</p><p> </p><p>On
online harms, we published the initial government response to the Online Harms White
Paper in February, which set out the direction of travel, and we will publish the
Full Government Response later this year. We are engaging experts, regulators, and
industry over the coming months to ensure that the regulatory landscape is coherent,
coordinated and effective.</p><p><ins class="ministerial">The Digital Strategy will
also set out our plans for a governance regime that enables trust in digital technologies,
provides clarity to businesses, and unlocks growth and innovation across the economy.
</ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong> </strong></ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">My
officials in DCMS are continuing to develop the details of the Strategy ahead of its
publication later this year and we welcome ideas for the Strategy from stakeholders,
including Honourable Members.</ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong></strong></ins><br
