Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps his Department is taking to ensure its services are available online; and if he will make a statement.

Progress against the delivery of my department's Digital Strategy, which sets out plans to become ‘digital by default’ in line with the Government Digital Strategy, is due to be published in December.

One of the 25 'exemplar' major government service that are being redesigned and rebuilt to be simpler, clearer and faster to use was the Cabinet Office's Register to Vote service. This went live in June this year in England and Wales followed by Scotland in September. More than 2.2m people have registered to vote using this digital service, with an overall satisfaction rate of over 90%. Further details are published on gov.uk/transformation.
