The Government is Failing to Take Tough Decisions on Digital Britain

Responding to today’s publication of Lord Carter’s report into the future of the digital economy, Digital Britain, Liberal Democrat Shadow Culture, Media and Sport Secretary, Don Foster said: “The Government made a lot of the right noises today, while failing to take any tough decisions.”

“Instead of a serious strategy we’ve been offered another round of reviews, strategy groups and consultations.

“Ministers have shown a complete lack of ambition. Without twenty-first century digital infrastructure our creative industries will struggle to remain world leaders.

“The digital economy offers enormous opportunities to help this country out of the current recession. Sadly, rather than grabbing that opportunity we’ve been offered a damp squib of a document.”
