Proceeding contribution from Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 October 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on e-Government.


e-Government

: I am delighted by what the hon. Gentleman says about Get Mapping. I agree with him and hope that it can expand as it deserves to. Much more is potentially available—for example, in education. People tend to say that young people spend far too much of their time on computers nowadays. They may do so, but that is not a threat; it is an opportunity to allow young people, and older people, to learn things in exciting ways that have never been available before. It is not a problem at all that people spend time on computers, provided that they do not spend too much time and become addicted to some of the games to which, I am afraid, I sometimes get addicted.
