HC Deb 24 October 2001 vol 373 c221W
Dr. Cable

To ask the President of the Council if he will propose that the House should accept motions relating to parliamentary business by e-mail; and if he will make a statement. [8466]

Mr. Robin Cook

I have no immediate plans to make such a proposal, but it is worthy of consideration. Any switch to a new system would need to take account of its wider impact and ensure that any security implications are properly addressed.

The Hon. Member may wish to ask the Procedure Committee to consider the proposal.
