HC Deb 03 April 1995 vol 257 c945W
34. Mr. Ian Bruce

To ask the Chairman of the Finance and Services Committee what financial provision is being made for installing the parliamentary data and video network; when this will be completed; and if the Commission will be providing funds for terminals and computers. [15725]

Mr. Channon

By the end of the summer recess 550 Members, including all those with offices in the outbuildings, will have access to the video network. Remaining Members' offices in the Palace will be cabled progressively over the next five years. In accordance with the recommendations of the Information Committee approved by the House last June, terminals and computers will not be funded from the House votes.
