	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2015 answer text <p>The majority of the recommendations in the report from the Speaker's Commission on Digital Democracy are for the House itself to consider and respond to.<br><br>In relation to the recommendations regarding the legislative process, the Government is committed to ensuring that the legislation it puts before Parliament is of a high standard and to ensuring that Parliament has the necessary means by which to perform its scrutiny function.<br><br>In April 2013, the Government launched the Good Law initiative, designed to promote law which is effective, clear and accessible. Various initiatives have been introduced this Parliament designed to improve the legislative process, including the use of explanatory statements on amendments, improved explanatory notes and piloting public reading stages of Bills. The Government has also given sufficient time to allow proper scrutiny in public bill committees and provided additional days at Commons report stages where necessary.<br><br>The Speaker's Commission also recommended that secure online voting should be an option for all voters by 2020. To make online voting available for UK elections could be attractive in light of current advances in IT. However, there are concerns that e-voting is not sufficiently transparent or secure.<br><br>The major issue raised by those opposed to the introduction of e-voting is that it is not sufficiently robust or trusted. In addition, the cost of introducing such a system would be substantial. Public support for such measures is still far from universal and traditional means of voting (such as polling stations and postal voting) remain popular with the electorate. Therefore, any means of e-voting would have to be introduced as an additional voting channel. Whilst e-voting may be something for the Government to consider in the future, it is not an immediate priority. The experience of the referendum on Scottish independence shows us that if people are engaged in the democratic process they will turn out to vote using the existing mechanism.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Mr William Hague question first answered 23/02/2015 18:40:44 answering member 379 label Biography information for Lord Hague of Richmond

This includes honouring all those who have fallen by observing a period of silence when sitting on Armistice Day. The Prime Minister also remains committed to continuing to pay tribute to those who have died and been named by the Ministry of Defence. What individual Members are allowed to do on the floor of the House is largely a matter of practice and convention under the control of Mr Speaker. The Government has no plans to change the current procedures but we will keep it under review.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 08/06/2015 16:40:00 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
