Sion Simon is the minister appointed to push the government’s digitisation plans through parliament, but he’s just announced he’s off. But only once he’s seen the digital economy bill through to legislation, yes? Nope – he’s off next Thursday! Read more HERE.
Jeremy has responded on the Shadow DCMS website:
‘First Stephen Carter now Sion Simon. This resignation is another chapter in the sorry story of Labour’s disastrous approach to Britain’s digital future. It is a complete farce that a minister responsible should resign his post so close to the Digital Economy Bill arriving in the House of Commons.’
