§ Sir Gerard VaughanTo ask the Lord President of the Council if he will arrange for cabling to be provided so that the broadcasts of parliamentary proceedings will be available throughout the Palace of Westminster and the precincts.
§ Mr. MacGregorIn its fourth report of last Session on "Computer Services for Members" (HC 614), the Services Committee recommended that steps should be taken towards the installation of a single high-capacity cable network in the Commons part of the Palace of Westminster and the outbuildings capable of carrying terrestrial, cable and satellite television signals as well as a full range of information technology services. I am hoping to be able to arrange a debate on that report in the near future. It will be for the House to decide at an appropriate moment whether the services transmitted over such a cable network should include a feed of proceedings in either or both Houses.
