Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Monday, 12 June 2006.

House of Lords: Library

Question: My Lords, I am glad to hear from the noble Lord the Chairman of Committees that the Library will continue its extremely useful services. I wish to raise one point with him, which is something of a hobby horse of mine. It is not his fault in any way, but the Government have still not made updated and amended versions of statutes available on the website. All that we can get is the Queen's Printer's copy, which is usually out of date and quite useless. Can the noble Lord draw the Government's attention to the importance of putting statues as amended on to the website?

Answer: My Lords, as the noble Lord says, it is not really my responsibility, but the question will be noted and the Government's attention drawn to it.
