What are government's plans for science, innovation and tech policy? Committee seeks explanation committees.parliament.uk/committee/13... (UK) Letter from SIT Committee chair Chi Onwurah MP to whoever's in charge now #govtech #techpolicy

The Prime Minister announced his Cabinet members on 21 July, revealing that DSIT's responsibilities will be allocated to the Cabinet Office and two bolstered departments for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, and for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

Writing to the three Secretaries of State, Dame Chi Onwurah, Chair of the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee, asks if media reports detailing the destinations of former DSIT teams are accurate and when these details will be confirmed; when the transition of DSIT teams to their new departments will be finalised, and when the portfolios of all relevant ministers will be confirmed.

The letter includes a Politico Pro link but I guess all the Secretaries of State have subscriptions

Lots of rumours swirling around the closure of DSIT and the future of UK tech policy I hear Nandy wants to go back to waterfall?
