§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Chairman of the Information Committee what is the size of the budget available to the House for the provision of computer technology to its hon. Members.
§ Mr. WallerMembers may use the office costs allowance to fund their individual use of computer technology. On 30 June 1994 the House approved a report from the Committee—first report "The Provision of Members' Information Technology Equipment, Software and Services", Session 1992–93, HC737—which proposed a modest range of supporting IT services to be available to Members from the next general election, the costs of which will be paid for by Members from their office costs allowance. Special provision can be made for computer equipment for Members with disabilities.
