Chi Onwurah – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Chi Onwurah on 2015-10-23.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what (a) funding his Department is undertaking and (b) projects his Department has planned as part of the Government’s Digital Inclusion Strategy.

Mike Penning

My department adheres by the Digital Inclusion Strategy when building public facing digital services.

We continually search for opportunities to improve digital inclusion across the justice system. An example of this is a joint project by the department for Business, Innovation and Skills and the National Offender Management Service, which created a virtual campus to help prisoners develop the skills they need to become more employable upon release. This has been used across government as an example of digital inclusion in action.
