The Times recently ran an article where it was reported that the UK Communications Minister, Lord Carter, was leaving his ministry post and headed for the private sector. The paper said that the Lord of Barnes was either moving to Brussels or taking up a job at ITV as its head, even before the publication of the final Digital Britain report.

The article immediately stirred up fears that the Digital Britain project would be left in a sticky situation without the presence of the man who steered the course of the project from its inception. His absence would mean that a large number of questions that will inevitably be fielded in the controversy-ridden, money-guzzling project would be left unanswered.

However, the minister was quick to assure in an interview with the very same paper that he would not be leaving the project or the ministry and would, in fact, continue working in the role. He further stated that his hands were currently full with work on the report and rubbished the suggestion that he was leaving for a job that was waiting for him in the private sector.

Lord Carter is responsible for spearheading the government’s plans to develop Britain’s communications and technology infrastructure, and very soon his plans to expand broadband internet access in the UK and to tackle internet piracy will be made public.
