Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of locally delivered digital inclusion programmes in Buckingham and Bletchley constituency.

Everyone in every community should benefit from technology. That is why we launched the £11.9m Digital Inclusion Innovation Fund, including £137,227 for a Milton Keynes digital skills project supporting low-income families. The Fund showed that digital inclusion support works best when it is delivered locally by trusted organisations and tailored to the needs of the community. This learning will inform future policy, and a final independent evaluation report will be published soon.
