Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what the most recent initiative is in which his Department used nudge policies.

The most recent example of the Department’s use of nudge policies was on ‘Complementary and Alternative Pathways to Equality’. This work was commissioned in 2012 jointly by the Government Equalities Office (GEO) and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). It was led by Professor Shamit Saggar of the University of Sussex as the Fellow, supported by a DCMS analyst following the Machinery of Government move of the GEO to the DCMS. The report was published in 2014.
