Consider what we have learned: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8187884.stm
Mr. Timms will remain as financial secretary while picking up the remit for Digital Britain. Was he not busy enough trying to balance the countries books? How can one man take on such diverse and large remits? If that were not enough there will be a general election looming within the next 10 months which leads me to question how any difference can be made to Digital Britain. I am afraid that all this tells me is that the government are not serious about Digital Britain. It is not that I believe Mr. Timms is the wrong person - he appears to have a better grounding in this area than most in Whitehall, however he is not being given any opportunity to make a difference. The future of Digital Britain is in our hands. We cannot afford to rely on Government to make a difference - the digital future of this country is up to us.That said... Good Luck, Mr. Timms!
