Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill (17 May 2023)

Paul Scully: Indeed, we have to keep this under review because AI is moving at such a pace. The AI White Paper is under consultation at the moment, and we are looking at its impact and how we will regulate it. The Bill has the flexibility to be able to cope with a number of issues, but clearly we must keep this area under review. Indeed, the DMU must be able to cope with that as well. Many people asked...

Science, Innovation and Technology: Science and Technology Sector: International Competitiveness ( 3 May 2023)

Paul Scully: The Government published the science and technology framework in March 2023, setting out our approach to making the UK a science and technology superpower by 2030. This will increase the UK’s strategic advantage in relation to other nations. As part of that, we have a 10-point plan, having identified five critical technologies, including AI, semiconductors and quantum, which we will...

Science, Innovation and Technology: Science and Technology Sector: International Competitiveness ( 3 May 2023)

Friend to see what more we can do to support innovation in the Bracknell area.

Science, Innovation and Technology: Science and Technology Sector: International Competitiveness ( 3 May 2023)

Paul Scully: My hon. Friend always champions industry and innovation in his area.

Through the nuclear fuel fund, the Government are investing in Springfields and other parts of the supply chain to further expand essential capabilities so we...

Science, Innovation and Technology: Science and Technology Sector: International Competitiveness ( 3 May 2023)

Science, Innovation and Technology: Science and Technology Sector: International Competitiveness ( 3 May 2023)

Science, Innovation and Technology: Science and Technology Sector: International Competitiveness ( 3 May 2023)

Paul Scully: There has been a fourfold increase in people taking up social tariffs, but we know we have to do more to help people with the cost of living. That is why we lent in to the carriers in the first place and encouraged the introduction of social tariffs, but we will do more. We will work with the carriers to make sure that those tariffs get advertised well, so we can get better take-up.

Science, Innovation and Technology: Topical Questions ( 3 May 2023)

Paul Scully: The Government are always aware that there are a number of possible threats to our systems and events. I am not able to discuss the details, but those at the National Cyber Security Centre are world experts at understanding attacks and providing an incident response for the most serious. We want to make sure that all organisations are aware, so we can keep that resilience in our voting process.

Research and Development Funding and Horizon Europe (18 Apr 2023)

Paul Scully: It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Hosie. I congratulate the hon. Member for Sheffield Central (Paul Blomfield) on securing this debate on research and development funding, and indeed Horizon Europe. It is a hugely important and timely debate, and I thank the hon. Gentleman for the opportunity to speak to Members today. As we have heard today, despite our relative size,...

During the pandemic, venues benefited from the cultural recovery fund; we are also supporting venues through the energy bills support scheme and will continue to do so through...

Digital, Culture, Media and Sport: Grassroots Music Venues: Government Support (26 Jan 2023)

Paul Scully: I thank the hon. Lady and congratulate Big Jeff on all the work that he is obviously doing in the sector. We will certainly reflect on that. I think that the new energy scheme strikes the balance between supporting businesses over the next 12 months and limiting taxpayers’ exposure to volatile energy markets, and there is a cap based on estimated volumes. It is really important that we...

Digital, Culture, Media and Sport: Topical Questions (26 Jan 2023)

Paul Scully: I can confirm that we are looking carefully at this. We have had a range of reactions to the proposals. The Minister for IP, my hon.

We are confident that, together,...

Digital, Culture, Media and Sport: Topical Questions (26 Jan 2023)

Paul Scully: I have not heard the song, but I will look it up. As I said to my right hon. Friend the Member for Ashford (Damian Green), we are confident that we will design a balanced approach. We will work with the industry to develop the creative industries sector vision and set out our ambitions for the sector, including in that important area.

Digital, Culture, Media and Sport: Topical Questions (26 Jan 2023)

Paul Scully: As the hon. Gentleman says, public libraries are run by local authorities, so it is up to each local authority to identify the needs of local residents. DCMS has previously received representations about the relocation of Peacehaven library and we have engaged with the local authority to understand the plans and their implications. The Secretary of State has a statutory power to intervene by...

Online Safety Bill: New Clause 1 - Report on redress for individual complaints (17 Jan 2023)

Paul Scully: There is a lot to cover in the short time I have, but first let me thank Members for their contributions to the debate. We had great contributions from the hon. Member for Pontypridd (Alex Davies-Jones), my right hon. Friend the Member for Witham (Priti Patel) and the right hon. Member for Barking (Dame Margaret Hodge)—I have to put that right, having not mentioned her last time—as...

Online Safety Bill: New Clause 1 - Report on redress for individual complaints (17 Jan 2023)

Paul Scully: Coroners already have some powers in this area, but we are aware of instances raised by my right hon. Friend and others in which that has not been the case. We will happily work with Baroness Kidron, and others, and look favourably on changes where they are necessary.

Online Safety Bill: New Clause 1 - Report on redress for individual complaints (17 Jan 2023)

Paul Scully: For the purpose of future-proofing, we have tried to make the Bill as flexible and as technologically neutral as possible so that it can adapt to changes. I think we will need to review it, and indeed I am sure that, as technology changes, we will come back with new legislation in the future to ensure that we continue to be world-beating—but let us see where we end up with that.

Online Safety Bill: New Clause 1 - Report on redress for individual complaints (17 Jan 2023)

Paul Scully: We will certainly work with others to address that, and if there is a loophole, we will seek to act, because we want to ensure—
