To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what assessment his Department has made of the effect on the environment of adopting environmentally-friendly ICT policies across all Government departments. (304198)

I have been asked to reply.

In September 2009 the Government published “Greening Government ICT—Efficient, Sustainable, Responsible” a one-year-on progress report which assesses the Government’s Green ICT strategy. This was committed to by all Government Departments.

The report is available at:
