http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk ************************************************************* H M TREASURY LAUNCHES SERVICE ON THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY ************************************************************* H M Treasury is launching today a new information service which enables anyone on the Internet to access Treasury publications and press releases. Publications available on the Treasury Internet Service include: * Press releases * Ministers' speeches * Minutes of the Chancellor's Monthly Monetary Meetings with the Governor of the Bank of England * Reports of the Panel of Independent Forecasters * Details of the Fundamental Expenditure Review of Treasury Running Costs. The Chancellor's Budget Speech and Budget Press Releases will be available on Budget Day shortly after he has finished speaking. The Treasury plans to extend the range of available information in due course. The Treasury Internet Service is available to anyone who has access to the Internet, and is free of charge. Launching the new service, Sir Terry Burns, the Permanent Secretary to the Treasury said, "This new service enables anyone who wants to keep in touch with the Government's economic policy to do so easily and cheaply. It is another important step in making the Treasury more open and outward looking. "The Treasury Internet Service will be invaluable for researchers, economic commentators, journalists and students who want to obtain the full text of Treasury announcements and publications. And as more and more people are connected to the information superhighway - at home or at work - they will all be able to use this service. The Treasury Internet Service can be accessed in a variety of ways, from simple electronic mail to the state-of-the-art World Wide Web. More details of how to use the service are in the attached Notes for Editors. H M Treasury 15 November 1994 http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk info () hm-treasury gov uk
