§ Mr. Peter BottomleyTo ask the Administration Committee if he will make the contents of theOfficial Report available digitally to the media as soon as possible.
§ Mr. Michael J. MartinTheOfficial Report is conducting a pilot project to make the electronic text of the Official Report available within the House. I understand that the Information Committee recently approved an expansion of the project, which includes the electronic delivery of the full text and an on-line database. In the first instance, the system is being developed to meet the needs of Members and the House generally, but, in planning to develop the service to serve a wider readership, the needs of the media will be taken fully into account.
