Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the (a) number and (b) proportion of adults in London who do not have core digital skills.
The Skills for Life Survey, 2011, estimated the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills of adults aged 16-64 in England, including estimates by region. ICT skills were assessed against four competencies (word processing, emailing, spreadsheets and a multiple choice assessment of other ICT skills such as internet use). The estimates of the numbers and percentage of the adult population with different skill levels for these components for England and London are in the table attached.
