Just announced in Business Statement this morning, remaining stages of the Online Safety Bill in the House of Commons will take place on 5th December.

Donelan just confirmed that OSB will be going back to Public Bill Committee in the Commons. Important the Bill gets scrutiny, but raises a lot of questions on timings + who will sit on committee, as some are now in govt - questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statem…

Online Safety Bill amendments just published in a Written Ministerial statement: questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statem…

Great event, and some really interesting discussions about where Labour goes next on digital policy.

Just arrived in Davos, looking forward to a week of discussing the future of tech, amongst a range of other issues. If you're about and fancy grabbing a coffee do let me know! #davos2023

Fantastic week in Davos (albeit incredibly cold), meeting with clients and businesses from across the globe. Particular highlight was meeting both Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves and hearing about Labour's Green Prosperity Plan #Davos2023 #LabourParty

The Valentines day tweet we didn't know we needed (or wanted)

Great to see the Govt prioritising science and tech, but their digital strategy still seems messy. Data Bill reported to be back in Parliament this week by Politico, but nothing tabled in Parliament yet, and still unclear who's the Minister for what in DSIT

DSIT responsibilities confirmed: Freeman - Minister for Science, Research and Innovation Lopez - Minister for Data and Digital Infrastructure Scully - Minister for Tech and the Digital Economy Viscount Camrose - Minister for AI and Intellectual Property

Another great addition of GC's Top in Tech podcast, this time with the Information Commissioner to discuss UK data protection law and enforcement

Long awaited Digital Competition Bill has been published. Will give the CMA some significant powers to intervene in digital markets and ensure Big Tech doesn't look to cut out innovative competitors - publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill…

Someone should have studied maths for longer.
