To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department, pursuant to his answer of 12 November 2001,Official Report, column 564W, on the Libra project, if stand-alone terminals will be retained for access for specific local systems where that access was not available on the legacy network, and is not currently available on Libra service. [16731]

Mr. Wills

In all of the Magistrates' Court Committees in receipt of the Libra Office Automation service, access to the main legacy system is achieved, for almost all staff, via the Libra terminal on their desks. In some cases separate stand-alone terminals have been retained to provide access for specific local systems where that access was not available on the legacy network, and is not currently available on the Libra service. This mixture of access is replicated in all MCCs. It is envisaged that the need for access to systems via stand-alone terminals will progressively diminish during the planned transition to the full new Libra service.
