41. Dr. Cable

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will make a statement on the Lord Chancellor's Department's role in representing the United Kingdom in discussions on e-commerce. [101259]

Mr. Lock

E-commerce falls within the area of ministerial responsibility of the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry. Various Departments, including the Lord Chancellor's Department, have interests in the policy implications of e-commerce and there has been full consultation and co-ordination between them.
