Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 5 July 2017 to Question 1680, on digital technology: regulation, when he plans to publish proposals for a new digital charter.

We are already making important progress through our Digital Charter. This includes the publication of the Internet Safety Strategy green paper on 11 October, which sets out our plan to make the UK the safest place to be online, and the announcement of funding for a new Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation at Budget. We will set out more detail on work that will be taken forward as part of the Charter in due course.
