David Warburton – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by David Warburton on 2015-10-19.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what his policy is on the digital single market.

Mr Edward Vaizey

The Department for Business and the Cabinet Office have overall policy responsibility for the Digital Single Market. The Department for Culture Media and Sport leads on telecoms, audio visual policy, IT Security and now Data Protection. The Digital Single Market is a key priority for the UK Government and we welcome its ambition. It offers huge potential for jobs and growth and could increase UK GDP by up to 2%, and it can also benefit citizens, as shown by our recent deal within the European Council on roaming.
