He said: "I am pleased to announce today the launch of the electronic Parliamentary Community (ePC). This network, initiated by my Office, establishes, for the first time, the electronic transfer of information between Government and Parliament." "This first phase of ePC provides the mechanism to deliver Parliamentary Questions from the House of Commons to Government Departments, and the Answers to Questions and Written Ministerial Statements from Government to the Commons, principally Hansard and the Table Office at this stage."
"In future, and subject to further discussion with the House authorities, it is hoped that this system may be extended to cover other information exchanged between Government and Parliament."
"This is a ground-breaking system, and I am grateful to the Knowledge Network (part of the e-Government Unit), to Parliamentary Staff for their work on this project, ensuring its delivery to tight and challenging deadlines and to the National Infrastructure Security Co-ordination Centre (NISCC) for their assistance in establishing the secure connection between Parliament and Government."
