Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government why the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology was closed; and on what basis they determined which departments should be assigned its responsibilities.

Answered by Baroness Twycross - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

The Prime Minister has made a number of changes to the Machinery of Government to rewire the state and drive economic growth across the country, including transforming how the Government is structured to approach science, innovation and technology, including AI.

The UK stands at a critical juncture where unprecedented global changes demand that we secure our position as a world leader in AI, science and technology. In this context, we cannot see science and technology as an isolated issue, limited to one department, but instead as a major priority that cuts across the whole of government and is vital to the UK’s future economic prosperity.

Recognising this, the functions of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) have been redistributed to align with the Government’s core economic and social agenda.

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what the percentage of desks is provided for staff as a proportion of the total number of assigned staff in her Department's London headquarters.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The former Department for Culture Media and Sport currently has 340 desks provided for 730 contracted staff in its London headquarters. This represents a 46% provision.

As of 1st September 2026, the former Department for Science, Innovation and Technology had 778 IT-enabled work settings provided for a total of 1790 contracted staff (1560 DSIT and 230 DESNZ/ICS) in its London HQ. This represents a 43% provision.

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government how many (1) repair vessels for communication cables, and (2) repair crew for communication cables, are based in the UK.

Answered by Baroness Mackenzie of Sherwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

Owners of subsea telecoms cables manage repair and maintenance through membership of commercial cable maintenance agreements. There are currently six cable repair vessels servicing the maintenance agreements in the Atlantic and Northern Europe, one of which is based in the UK (information collected via DSIT Request for Information April 2026). Government does not routinely hold information on the crewing of cable vessels, which varies by vessel and commercial operator. There is a privately owned UK-based facility that trains subsea cable repair technicians.

The Government recognises the importance of a UK-based and UK-flagged subsea telecoms cable repair vessel. DCMS is exploring options for securing this capability in the long term.
