HC Deb 01 December 1994 vol 250 cc891-2W
Mrs. Anne Campbell

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has to provide information via Internet; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jack

MAFF has placed selected statistical information on Internet, as part of its participation in the pilot CCTA Government information service launched on 10 November. As a result, up to 20 years of agriculture and food statistics are now accessible on Internet. A range of background information about the Department's work and publications is also available, and the MAFF helpline has enhanced its service by introducing an E-mail address for communicating with Internet users.
