HC Deb 30 November 2001 vol 375 c1200W
Dr. Kumar

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what assessment he has made of his and other Government Department's progress in meeting the Government's targets for providing services online. [19066]

Mr. Leslie

Delivery is at the heart of our agenda for transforming public services, and e-government is one of the most powerful catalysts we have for achieving that transformation. The Office of the e-Envoy produces both an annual report and regular monthly reports giving details of the progress that is being made. The next annual report will be published shortly. The latest figures on progress towards the target of making Government services available electronically by 2005 show that over 50 per cent. of Government services are e-enabled now. Departments predict that 74 per cent. of services will be e-enabled by the end of 2002.
