Question to the Cabinet Office:
What steps he is taking to encourage technological innovation in tackling social challenges and delivering public services.
I am determined that government harnesses the power of technology to deliver better public services.
That’s why we are developing an Innovation Strategy for public services to be published next Spring and why I spoke at the GovTech Summit in Paris earlier this week.
And in October, the latest round of the GovTech innovation fund opened. Ten challenges have already been selected for funding.
