The Digital Britain Final Report is one of the central policy commitments in the Government's Building Britain's Future plan and draft legislative programme.
Building Britain's Future sets out the practical action we will take to build a stronger, fairer and more prosperous country. It focuses the energy and mission of the government in the year ahead on three clear priorities:
- Cleaning up politics and reforming our democracy
- Moving from recession to recovery and planning for a strong economy in the future; and
- Reforming Britain's public services.
