HC Deb 10 March 1997 vol 292 c28W
Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when his Department established its Internet site; what representations he has received and what data he has collated on the use and utility of the site; and what steps he is taking to increase the amount of information available via the site. [19148]

Mr. Bowis

The site started on 3 June 1996. It has received 163,000 visits. The response has been very favourable in the UK and abroad. Visitors may e-mail their comments, questions or proposals direct to dedicated inquiry points in my Department. The magazine "NetUser" recently gave the site a four star rating. The site is being redesigned to improve ease of use and to increase the information available.
