Viscount Camrose (Con)
Well, its existence is being debated here. I have lost the thread of my answer but I will provide a more satisfactory answer to my noble friend.
Lord Newby (LD)
My Lords, a moment ago the Minister talked about the relevant Select Committee. Could he tell us what the relevant Select Committee is for this unit and when it last conducted an investigation into its work?
Viscount Camrose (Con)
The DSIT Select Committee —or, formerly, before the machinery of government changed, the DCMS Select Committee—keeps the unit’s performance under constant review, as with any group or team in government.
