HC Deb 10 May 2000 vol 349 c429W
8. Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what steps she is taking to ensure that the modernising of Government programmes pays particular attention to the accessibility of Government Departments to the public using information technology. [120442]

Mr. Ian McCartney

Part of our e-government strategy is to increase the citizens choice of access to public services. The services that can be accessed are as follows:

  • General information Obtained from Government, such as Employment Regulations
  • Personal information obtained from Government, like National Insurance records
  • Personal information supplied to Government, for example when changing address
  • Payment to Government
  • Payment from Government.
We have set a target that 100 per. cent. of dealings will be capable electronically by 2005.
