Departmental Internet

Volume 472: debated on Thursday 6 March 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many Wikipedia entries have been (a) created and (b) amended (i) by (A) special advisers, (B) Ministers and (C) communications officials and (ii) from IP addresses of (1) special advisers, (2) Ministers and (3) communications officials in (x) his Department and (y) its agencies since August 2005. (185526)

It would not be possible to obtain this information without incurring disproportionate cost; DEFRA staff access internet sites via a single Government secure intranet (GSI) gateway, and IP addresses within DEFRA’s network are allocated dynamically to individuals’ computers.
