(View all Douglas McAllister's DSIT questions)Digital inclusion is a priority for me and for Government. It means everyone has the access, skills, support and confidence to participate in a modern digital society, whatever their circumstances. Work is ongoing to develop our approach to tackling digital exclusion and we hope to announce more on this soon. We look forward working closely with the third sector, business and the Devolved Governments, to ensure interventions are targeted to and based on individual needs.
Minister of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)
We are getting on with delivery. Fundamental reform will be delivered through:
• Transformation of jobcentres to support people into and on in work.
• Working with local areas to tackle economic inactivity.
A Youth Guarantee for 18-21's in England to benefit from education, training or help to find work.
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)
The Government is delivering for defence by increasing defence spending and recognises the defence sector as a strategic resource. The Defence Industrial Strategy will provide clear signals to encourage firms to take long-term investment decisions in the UK and grow onshore production capability in priority areas that will drive growth and productivity across the UK economy, while strengthening our national security. The nearly £3 billion increase in spending next year will help us do this.
