Lord Chadlington

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the new Knowledge Network Project will have any effect on the political impartiality of the Civil Service. [HL603]

Lord Falconer of Thoroton

The Knowledge Network System is an information management system designed to modernise and join up the way the Government collect and share information, replacing traditional paper-based systems with a computerised one. The system will cut down duplication of effort and enable everyone to pool their work and knowledge.
