Access to the full Knowledge Network will be restricted to Ministers and civil servants (including Special Advisers).

On the question of availability of information from the Knowledge Network, I refer the hon. Member to the reply given to him on 23 March 2000, Official Report, column 691W and to the letter sent on 24 March from the Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Home Civil Service to the Chairman of the Public Administration Select Committee, a copy of which I am placing in the Library of both Houses.
