HC Deb 13 July 1993 vol 228 c442W
Mr. Tredinnick

To ask the Chairman of the Information Committee what proposals there are for the modernisation of the House annunciator service.

Mr. Gary Waller

The character generation equipment of the annunciator system is to be updated during the summer recess, following the agreement of the Information Committee to a proposal by the Editor of theOfficial Report. The new system will display the same information as at present when the House is sitting. Before 1 pm on sitting Mondays to Thursdays, the screens will display information on the forthcoming proceedings of the House. The information will be available additionally in teletext form at other times on television sets within the parliamentary estate equipped to receive it.

There will be a demonstration of the new screen displays on Thursday 22 July in a Committee Room of the House.
