Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who is responsible for digitisation in his Department; and what mechanisms the person with responsibility for digitisation uses to champion digitisation.
Answered by Simon Clarke
HM Treasury does not provide digital services to citizens, outside of information published to www.gov.uk. In this, we are fully engaged with the work of GDS in its continuing transformation to “digital by default”. The Head of Digital Communications in the Communications team is responsible for maintaining and cultivating the relationship with GDS.
