HC Deb 25 March 2004 vol 419 c961W
20. Mr. David

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what assessment she has made of how the level of internet access in the United Kingdom compares with that in other European countries. [163452]

Mr. Timms

The Office of the e-envoy published an independent international benchmarking assessment in Nov 2002—The Worlds Most Effective Policies for the e-Economy—which presents international comparisons of internet access and use across the G7. The assessment shows the UK to be ahead of other European G7 countries for household internet access.
