§ Dr. Julian LewisTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment his Department has made of the security implications of access by terrorists to UK media reports via the internet. [13676]
§ Mr. BlunkettInformation is available on the internet as it is in the media generally.
There is no specific assessment made by the Government. Those placing material on and therefore responsible for the information given on the internet, are subject to the same security rules and regulations as print or broadcast media. No assessment has been made by the Government although the security and intelligence services do of course monitor such information and make their own assessment.
