§ David TaylorTo ask the hon. Member for Roxburgh and Berwickshire, representing the House of Commons Commission, what improvements are planned for Members' access to Information and Communications Technology on the Parliamentary Estate. [73623]
§ Mr. KirkwoodThe Commission has adopted as a strategic objective the development and maintenance of an information infrastructure that is unified, consistent, seamless and accessible. There are a number of projects under way which will allow Members to derive greater benefits from Information and Communications Technology in their work.
The House Administration as a whole is considering the Information Committee's recent report, Digital Technology: Working for Parliament and the public, which looks at ways of using Information and Communications Technology to bring the House and the public closer together, something which I know is important to the hon. Gentleman.
