The UK is renewing its search for a government chief digital officer after two previous attempts failed to lead to an appointment.

The role, first advertised in 2017, was given new powers as officials renewed the search in September last year. But the beefed up position and fresh recruitment drive failed to attract an appropriate candidate.
