Deputy Sherlock referred to services to Members of the Houses. That entire area must be examined in great detail. Information technology was mentioned and we have an excellent service here. Sometimes one is better to stay with it. It is constantly evolving and it needs investment. Members are being asked much more now with regard to their work in the House and it is extremely difficult to meet all the demands for time. Certainly, technology allows us to bridge that gap.
