Lord Lucas

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether it is yet possible for a Peer to request that copies of all replies to his Written Questions should be sent to him by e-mail; and, if so, how. [HL2415]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

The Central IT Unit of the Cabinet Office has investigated the feasibility of answering written parliamentary questions electronically and the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA) has been developing a detailed operating system. CCTA is now working towards the implementation of the system and will be providing a report to the Library and Computers Sub-Committee of the House in June.
