UK Scraps Tech Department After Two Years, Moves Duties to DCMS
The UK government has dissolved its Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) after just two years. Digital transformation responsibilities, including the Government Digital Service (GDS), will shift to the reborn Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). The move signals a potential downgrade of tech policy priority within the government.

The short-lived DSIT's dissolution suggests the UK's tech ambitions may be losing steam, as digital strategy gets folded back into a department known for culture and media.
