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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what plans he has to develop a national data strategy; and if he will make a statement.

In June 2018, it was announced that we would create a National Data Strategy. Officials are developing more detailed proposals for the strategy and we will make an annoucement on progress in due course. We are consulting with all Government Departments and a variety of Arms Length Bodies to develop our detailed proposals.
