Government names Andrew Stott as director of digital engagement

LONDON - The Cabinet Office has appointed Andrew Stott, currently the Government's deputy chief information officer, to the new role of director of digital engagement, as the Government attempts to better engage with people online.

The appointment follows a review of the Cabinet Office organisation to reflect the Government's priorities.

The new role will also include responsibility for implementation of the Power of Information Taskforce recommendations, chairing the Government's Knowledge Council and working with The National Archives; and increasing the civil service's use of internal digital tools to improve cross-Government coordination.

He will report to Tom Watson MP, the Minister for digital engagement.
