§ Mr. BakerTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what estimate he has made of the savings in(a) transport costs and (b) car mileage which will result from the introduction of electronic red boxes and the electronic transfer of the information contained in them. [26395]
§ Dr. David ClarkThe electronic red box has the potential to be a more convenient and powerful way of processing Ministers' documents, and to reduce a number of costs, including paper-handling as well as transport costs. I expect the benefits to be progressively realised as take-up and connectivity increase.
