HL Deb 05 March 2004 vol 658 c136WA
Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will ask all Ministers to put their e-mail addresses on their letter headings; and whether the Cabinet Office will include Ministers' e-mail addresses, or those of their private secretaries, in the Cabinet Office List of Ministerial Responsibilities, and on their departmental websites. [HL1556]

Lord Bassam of Brighton

It is for the individual departments to determine their own arrangements on the providing of e-mail addresses on their letter headings and departmental websites.

The Cabinet Office will consult departments about the inclusion of Ministers' e-mail addresses for the next edition of the List of Ministerial Responsibilities.
