Baroness Anelay of St Johns

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by Lord McIntosh of Haringey on 31 October ( WA 162), when they will publish the business case for Culture On Line which has been prepared by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport; and when they will publish an account of the work which has formed the initial development of the project. [HL1122]

The Minister of State, Department for Culture, Media and Sport (Baroness Blackstone)

We are currently considering a number of alternative options for Culture On Line and we hope to make an announcement in the near future.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has carried out a wide range of work to develop the project since it was announced in September 2000. I am arranging for copies of a summary of the work to be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
