	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2024 answer text <p>Promoting Digital Inclusion is a priority for me and for Government, which is why we believe it was a disgrace that the previous government did not introduce a new digital exclusion strategy for ten years. Digital inclusion is essential to our Missions, particularly in breaking down barriers to opportunity across the UK and kickstarting economic growth by involving more people in the digital economy. Any announcement about inter-ministerial groups will be made in the usual way, but work is ongoing to develop our approach to digital inclusion and ensure coordination across government departments. This will not just involve ministers talking to each other, but effective action to tackle exclusion.</p> answering member constituency Rhondda and Ogmore answering member printed Chris Bryant question first answered 15/10/2024 12:14:31 answering member 1446 label Biography information for Sir Chris Bryant
