To ask the Secretary of State for Health, when he expects his Department's planned mental health app to be available across the NHS.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, when he expects his Department's planned mental health app to be available across the NHS.
NHS England will later in March be launching a Mental Health Apps Library pilot to promote access to digital services that have a proven track record of improving outcomes for those suffering with depression and anxiety. The focus of the pilot will be on NHS commissioned digital services that are compliant with the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies quality standards, that offer National Institute of Health and Care Excellence approved evidence based treatments for depression and anxiety disorders. The aim of the pilot is to increase access to these services and create a better case for the commissioning of, and usage of, digital mental health services which lead to better outcomes.

To ask the hon. Member for South West Devon, representing the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission, when the Electoral Commission first knew of the problems with the registration software used by Electoral Registration Officers; and what steps the Commission has taken to overcome those problems.
To ask the hon. Member for South West Devon, representing the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission, when the Electoral Commission first knew of the problems with the registration software used by Electoral Registration Officers; and what steps the Commission has taken to overcome those problems.
The Electoral Commission report on the transition to individual electoral registration, published on 24 February, set out the problems encountered with the electoral management software (EMS) systems used by Electoral Registration Officers, when collecting data about the 1 December registers. These problems do not relate to either the online registration system or the wider functionality of the local EMS systems.
The Electoral Commission became aware of this problem once the first data returns were submitted by Electoral Registration Officers shortly after 1 December.
Since that date the Electoral Commission has worked closely with the Cabinet Office and directly with electoral management software suppliers to refine the reporting function within their systems. There have been substantial improvements in the data returns, but further work is still needed to ensure the data provided in May is more reliable. The Commission is continuing to work with the Cabinet Office and software suppliers on this.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the effect of COS14 VAT rules on public sector procurement of off the shelf software services.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) does not hold any data on the purchase of off the shelf software, by the public sector.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the electoral registration app for smart phones recently launched in Dundee; and what plans they have to encourage the use of smart phone technology to facilitate voter registration, particularly amongst young people.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the electoral registration app for smart phones recently launched in Dundee; and what plans they have to encourage the use of smart phone technology to facilitate voter registration, particularly amongst young people.
The Government welcomes all activity by local Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) to promote the online channel for voter registration.
We have introduced online registration which makes registering to vote quicker and more accessible than ever before and can be done on a smartphone, tablet or PC in around 5 minutes. Since 10 June over 900,000 18-24 year olds have applied to register to vote with over 700,000 of these applications having been made on-line.
To ask the Chairman of Committees how much it cost to procure the latest Microsoft Outlook system for use in Parliament; whether the system is working to specification; and what is being done about any problems encountered so far.
To ask the Chairman of Committees how much it cost to procure the latest Microsoft Outlook system for use in Parliament; whether the system is working to specification; and what is being done about any problems encountered so far.
The latest version of Outlook was included in Parliament’s rollout of Microsoft Office 365 during 2014 as part of the Improved Access to Services (IATS) project. IATS also delivered other new services but the costs of that project identifiable as directly related to Microsoft Outlook were £355,667 in 2013-14 and £158,802 in 2014-15 (including VAT).
In addition, Parliament provides each user with Microsoft Windows and its associated Office 365 software at a cost of £98.75 (not including VAT) per user per year.
The service has been deployed to over 7,000 users on the Parliamentary network and the overall system is working to specification. A number of users have reported some issues. In particular they have raised concerns about the design of the new Outlook interface and some have reported problems with passwords needing to be re-entered. Both of these issues have been raised with Microsoft.
If any Member is experiencing difficulties then Parliamentary ICT (PICT) is ready to offer assistance.
Motion to consider. Agreed to on question.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what progress he has made on promoting Level 3 Building Information Modelling; and if he will make a statement.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what progress he has made on promoting Level 3 Building Information Modelling; and if he will make a statement.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the application of the full potential of digital technology to construction and the built environment. Over the last year government and industry have been working together to develop a strategy to both define Level 3 BIM – the next phase of the technology – and to identify the key steps we will need to take to achieve the ambitions set out in the strategy. The strategy is in the final stages of completion and we hope to publish it in the new year.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether companies providing sound effects, graphics and language translation services for use in the creation of gambling products require a licence.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether companies providing sound effects, graphics and language translation services for use in the creation of gambling products require a licence.
The Gambling Commission’s advice note “What is gambling software?” explains that, “Where the third party is only providing part of a game, such as artwork, under the control and design specifications of Company Y, then this indicates Company Y is in control and is the entity to hold a gambling software licence whereas the third party does not” (para 4.13). This equally applies to those that provide other aspects of the overall game for example sound effects and language translation services.

Intellectual property relating to gambling software is only one of the factors that is relevant to understanding where control of the product sits. There are also other factors that are relevant when considering who needs a gambling software licence for example who is responsible for the design and functionality of the software and what the contract says in terms of responsibilities and liabilities. One relevant activity caught by Section 41 of the Gambling Act 2005 is adaptation, and so the person who actually undertakes that adaptation will need to be licensed.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government why intellectual property relating to gambling software, often owned by separate companies which in turn license that software, rather than by the direct software developers or gambling operators, remains a determinant of a gambling licence requirement.
