  53. He also criticised the government for taking six months to submit a response to the select committee’s digital skills crisis report, which was published in June 2016.

The strategy has been delayed several times. In March 2016, the then digital minister, Ed Vaizey, told a select committee hearing that the strategy was written and ready to go, but the government had to delay publication because of the EU referendum.
