Internet (Improper Use)

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to his answer of 5 October 2005, Official Report, column 2845W, on improper use of the internet, when he expects the full business case for the IMPACT programme to be completed; for what reasons the full business case was not delivered in line with the Home Office progress report on the Bichard Recommendations of 22 December 2004.

Answer: The IMPACT programme has been significantly re-engineered since the first progress report, in recognition of its scale and complexity. As reported in the second progress report, published in November, an outline business case was considered by the Home Office Group Investment Board in September 2005. Following further work to develop the options in consultation with the police service and other stakeholders, a further business case will be considered in March 2006.
