Proceeding contribution from Andrew Miller (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 October 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on e-Government.
e-Government
: I am sure that my hon. Friend did not intend to imply this, but we should not assume that older people do not want to use computers. It is a most empowering technology, and my mother, who is 86, wheelchair-bound and living on her own, is totally reliant on computer-based services. She had no formal education after the age of 14. It is not a question of educational attainment, but one of whether there is a combination of support to encourage people to learn and the capital to cover the initial outlay.
