Written Question
Public Sector: Distributed Ledger Technology
Tuesday 5th February 2019

Asked by: Eddie Hughes (Conservative - Walsall North)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 20 March 2018 to Question 133516 on Public Sector: Blockchain, what progress has been made on the potential use of distributed ledger technologies and blockchain; and if he will make a statement.

Answered by Oliver Dowden

In August 2018, the government released the “Technology innovation in government survey”, which highlighted potential uses of distributed ledger technologies (DLT).

The Government’s Innovation Strategy will be launched in spring 2019. This strategy will address barriers to departments trialling emerging technologies, which may include DLT, in order to improve public services and drive public sector innovation.
