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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 14 March 2017 to Question 66826, on digital technology: training, what estimate her Department has made of the number of adults who lack core digital skills who will be able to receive training through the Digital Skills Entitlement throughout its duration.

The Digital Skills Entitlement will ensure that adults who lack core digital skills can access specified basic digital skills training free of charge where it is made available as part of the publicly funded adult education offer. The level at which this entitlement will be set is still to be decided and we will consult in due course.
