The Prime Minister (Boris Johnson)
I am making this statement to bring to the House’s attention the following machinery of Government change.
Government use of data
Responsibility for Government use of data has transferred from the Department for Digital Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) to the Cabinet Office. DCMS will retain responsibility for data policy for the economy and society. This change will help ensure that Government data is used most effectively to drive policy making and service delivery. The change is effective immediately.
