Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how much his Department has spent on digital inclusion in each year from 2010; and how much it plans to spend on digital inclusion in each year to 2017.
DCMS does not hold a separate budget for the delivery of digital inclusion initiatives - it is a central part of our wider work on enhancing digital access and uptake.
We have also created the Digital Accessibility Alliance. Working with other government departments, representatives from business, academia and the not for profit sector, we will develop policy which will lead to an improvement in the level of access for people with disabilities and older people to digital information systems, goods and services.
