HC Deb 10 June 1999 vol 332 cc393-4W
Mr. Webb

To ask the Chairman of the Information Committee when hon. Members will receive the CD-ROM version of theOfficial Report for the 1997—98 Parliamentary Session, and what plans he has to reduce the time taken to prepare the CD-ROM. [86397]

Mr. Allan

The final disc of the CD-ROM of theOfficial Report for the 1997–98 Parliamentary Session covering the whole of the Session 1997–98 was published on 10 June 1999.

Hansard in CD-ROM is not produced under the direction of the Authorities of the House and, therefore, the time taken to prepare the CD-ROM is a matter for the commercial judgment of the companies involved.
