§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the Internet electronic mail addresses of(a) his Department and (b) each Minister in his Department; and if he will make a statement on his Department's approach to the information super-highway. [17737]
§ Mr. GoodladI refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to the hon. Member for Cambridge (Mrs. Campbell) on 29 November 1994 at column250 and 10 January 1995 at column 63.
The FCO and ODA do not at present use the Internet for e-mail. However, both wings are currently considering how to implement a public inquiry Internet e-mail address, for launch later in the year.
A project is underway to establish an FCO world-wide web service on the Internet which should come on stream 889W before the summer recess. A further announcement will be made at that time.
