The UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has today moved Oliver Dowden to be the Co-Party Chairman and appointed Nadine Dorries<\/a> to replace him as the Secretary of State for the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport<\/a> (DCMS), who among other things is tasked with overseeing the roll-out of gigabit broadband.<\/p>\n

Culture Secretary’s never seem to last very long in the job, although Oliver Dowden had managed to hold the post since February 2020, which is longer than most of his recent predecessors. By comparison, Mid Bedfordshire MP Nadine was formerly the Government’s Minister of State at the Department of Health and Social Care. She also has a long history of working in health care and education style roles.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say that Dorries will now face a very different portfolio at DCMS, where she will take responsibility for, among other things, 5G<\/a> deployments and the \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/strong><\/a> programme that aims to extend 1Gbps broadband speeds to reach at least 85% of UK premises by the end of 2025 – this also aspires to get “as close to 100% as possible.<\/em>” The funding for this is exclusively focused on improving connectivity for those in the final 20% of hardest to reach homes (c.5-6 million premises<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Admittedly, on this front, Dorries might not have the best reputation with technology and network security related matters. Back in 2017 she ended up having to defend her cyber-security arrangements after revealing that she shared her login passwords with all her staff, which included “interns on exchange programmes<\/em>” (here<\/a>). Sadly, the practice of MPs sharing their log-ins did, at the time, seem to be rather widespread.<\/p>\n

The Government’s cabinet reshuffle is currently ongoing, and thus it remains to be seen whether Matt Warman MP will retain his existing role as the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Digital Infrastructure, or be moved elsewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
