HC Deb 26 January 2004 vol 417 cc85-6W
Mr. Lazarowicz

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what criteria her Department uses when deciding whether a leaflet which it publishes is to be made available only on its website. [149560]

Mr. Sutcliffe

The Department decides whether a leaflet should be published only on the internet on a case-by-case basis. Officials consider the intended target audience of the leaflet, whether the audience is likely to have internet access and the cost of publishing the document in hard copy. Where the publication is a lengthy or technical document, the Department may produce a hard copy executive summary, with the full document available only on the internet.

The Department constantly reviews feedback we receive on this issue to ensure that our publications are accessible to those who need them.
