To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to his answer of 19 June 2000,Official Report, column 105W, on the knowledge economy, how he defines access to the internet through a public access point; on what terms such access shall be available; and if he will make a statement. [127865]

Mr. Andrew Smith

Public internet access points are defined as any facility, whether provided by the public, voluntary, or private sector, which provides internet access for the general public. The Government are making community internet access points available through a number of initiatives, including ICT learning centres, and putting libraries on-line.
