HC Deb 04 April 1995 vol 257 cc982-3W

Mr. Allen

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster 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. [17741]

Mr. Horam

There is no single electronic mail address to cover the whole of the Cabinet Office and the Office of Public Service and Science.

My Internet electronic mail address is [e-mail], and that of my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster is [e-mail].

The Office of the Public Service and Science is leading and co-ordinating the use of information superhighways by Government Departments, stimulating public discussion of super-highway issues; and, at an international level, leading a G7 pilot project on "Government On-Line". The CCTA Government information service on the Internet provides information from all parts of the Department, including the Office of Science and Technology, the citizens charter unit, the machinery of Government division, the Civil Service College and HMSO.
