House of Commons: Software
- Question
-
To ask the hon. Member for Blaenau Gwent and Rhymney, representing the House of Commons Commission, whether any Open Source software is used in the House of Commons.
- Answer
-
In supporting the work of Parliament, the Parliamentary Digital Service makes extensive use of open source software, and in particular in bespoke procedural systems. Where appropriate and subject to licensing requirements, open source solutions are generally preferred. We also seek to ensure that systems remain portable across hosting platforms and avoid unnecessary dependence on proprietary technologies.
