Responsibility for 'govt use of data' has transferred from DCMS to Cabinet Office (after moving from CO to DCMS back in 2018).
Main thought:
Time for shuffling deckchairs is over - it's time for govt to set a direction, starting with the National Data Strategy later this year

We were a bit more open than most to data policy moving to DCMS in 2018.
Political energy had gone out of the agenda at Cabinet Office, DCMS had a Sec of State (Matt Hancock) who was clearly interested in it.
He was reshuffled to health 3 months later.

But there were clearly going to be challenges:
- DCMS had a wide-ranging & expanding brief
- Data was - & remains - fragmented across Whitehall
- DCMS not a traditional 'central' dept, not clear it had right skills/capabilities at the time
