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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of the likely benefits the Cyber Innovation Centre will bring to Cheltenham's local economy.

The Cyber Innovation Centre in Cheltenham will help local innovators develop new cyber security products and start new companies. This will have a direct benefit to the tech sector in Cheltenham, a benefit which will increase over time as these start-ups grow into what we hope will be world-class firms.
