My new role as Digital Champion

Details

Created on Wednesday, 24 March 2010

My remit has just been expanded to become the UK Digital Champion. My initial task will be to work alongside Tim Berners Lee (inventor of the world wide web) on a digital public services strategy and set up a new unit within the Cabinet Office. This is significant because it will drive the online delivery of public services and put the 4 million people who have never accessed the internet, but who are the heaviest users of government services, at the heart of this strategy.

My role at Race Online 2012 will remain unchanged.
