§ Mr. David ShawTo ask the Secretary of State for Education if she will make a statement about the plans of her Department to make information available on the Internet and the documents which she intends to be made available on the Internet over the next year which will be accessible via the world wide web server "Open.Gov.UK" or any specific departmental server.
§ Mr. ForthMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has noted with interest the recent launch of the open government information service by CCTA, the Government centre for information systems. The Department is keen to play its full part in making information available electronically where appropriate and is considering what material might most helpfully be made accessible via this service.
