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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to the Government's digital strategy, what support will be provided to Great Grimsby from the digital skills programme; and if she will make a statement.

Individuals and companies in Great Grimsby will be able to benefit from many of digital skills measures set out in the Government’s Digital Strategy. In addition the new Digital Skills Partnership will enable better coordination of opportunities and play a crucial role in ensuring that digital skills initiatives are targeted more effectively so that people in local areas such as Great Grimsby have the right skills and are able to better access digitally focused jobs. We are currently developing the scope and membership of the Digital Skills Partnership.
