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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department has set a timetable for the development of UK-based exascale supercomputing capabilities.

The Future of Compute review, independently led by Professor Zoubin Ghahramani, will produce recommendations on the UKs compute capability over the next decade. It will outline the interventions required, such as investment into an exascale facility, to ensure that UK researchers and businesses can fully exploit world-class compute infrastructure to support science, innovation and growth. The Government will respond to the review after publication later this year.
