HC Deb 22 March 2000 vol 346 cc544-5W
Mr. Chaytor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans his Department has to set up an interactive website. [114822]

Ms Beverley Hughes

The central DETR has had an interactive website (atwww.detr.gov.uk) since November 1997. The site provides access to a wide range of information about the Department and its policies and, in addition to the normal interactivity of any website, includes more than 300 inquiry e-mail addresses, which can be used to contact any area of the Department, four searchable databases, streamed video and audio and now a sub-domain for schools. There are plans for further developments in interactivity this year.
