§ 16. Mr. SheermanTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what steps he is taking to increase access to Government Departments by persons using the Internet. [47934]
§ Dr. David ClarkWhile it is a matter for individual Departments to decide whether to establish and publish web sites on the World Wide Web, I am pleased to say all the major Departments of State do indeed already have public web sites. They form part of the over 600 public sector organisations that are accessible on World Wide Web via the Government Information Service run by the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency.
