HC Deb 06 March 2001 vol 364 c140W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry in what way his Department is revising its internal guidance to staff for writing and distributing e-mails for what reasons his Department is revising this guidance; and if he will place in the Library a copy of the current internal guidance on e-mail procedures. [151903]

Dr. Howells

My Department regularly reviews its internal guidance on e-mail procedures. This is to ensure that e-mail is used effectively to meet the business needs of the Department and its customers including the need to keep accurate records and to take account of advances in technology and best practice in the private and public sector.

I have arranged for a copy of the current internal guidance on e-mail procedures to be placed in the Library of the House.
