Friend has every intention of keeping the House informed. Gentleman will know, and no doubt has benefited from, the arrangements that my right hon. Friend and his Department have established to make information available to MPs, which I also mentioned last week. The centre for the deaf at Bristol university has recently pioneered a video link system for the deaf which uses British sign language to enable them to communicate via screen. Will my right hon.
Friend makes an extremely interesting point.
My initial thought is that she should consider taking the issue up with the Information Committee. The nature of electronic communication in the House is, at least in part, a matter for it. She might also like to write to the Speaker and the Clerk of the House. However, I suspect that it will be difficult to resolve how we can make use of such facilities, but it should certainly be considered. She has been very coy about it so far.
