Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, which consultations published by their Department are awaiting a response; and when each of those responses (a) were initially planned to and (b) will be published.

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology was created in February 2023. The Department has not issued any consultations for which a response is outstanding.

As part of the Machinery of Government changes, we inherited 5 ongoing consultations from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport:

- The future of connected and automated mobility in the UK: call for evidence;

- Project Gigabit: open market review request for information - Wales;

- Wireless Infrastructure Strategy: call for evidence;

- Open Market Review: Superfast and Gigabit broadband infrastructure in Scotland - request for information;

- Online Advertising Programme.

We will respond to these consultations as soon as possible.
