Paul Scully MP has been appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Tech and the Digital Economy, overseeing online safety, digital markets regulation, and online advertising. He will also retain the role of Minister for London.
The PPA met the Minister in his former role at the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy, where he also held responsibility for elements of the legislation that will empower the Digital Markets Unit. He also oversaw postal regulation in the UK, and answered questions posed by Helen Hayes MP on the impact of poor Royal Mail delivery on a publisher in her constituency.
The Minister’s responsibilities mean he will play a key role in creating a sustainable environment for specialist media businesses and the wider press and media sectors. The Conservative politician is a strong euro-sceptic, supporting the Leave Means Leave campaign group. He was elected to the Commons in 2015, representing the constituency of Sutton and Cheam.
Just Ask, the campaign that allows stores to sell more print magazines, including titles they don’t stock on the newsstand, has recently relaunched.
For the first time, more than 5.5 million National Trust members can choose to receive a print or digital version of National Trust Magazine.
