Accommodation
Review: Update

We received the following message
today:
"The Accommodation Review
team are delighted with the response to and interest in the
questionnaire, and we already have over 900 completed surveys. The
questionnaire was intended for staff housed in or who use
accommodation at Westminster. Constituency accommodation is
outside the scope of this review. Naturally in addressing space
issues on the Westminster estate, topics affecting constituency
staff are bound to arise. We will try to capture comments you have
made and incorporate these in our study.
"If you would like to make
any further comments please email the acreviewteam@parliament.uk
"

contain information on how to take part, even if you don't have

who has accommodation on the House of Commons Estate is invited to
participate, with phased issue dates to manage the process.

Pre-Legislative
Scrutiny Committee goes live this Thursday 23 May*
Click
here for outlines and dates of this
interesting new iniative, sent to us by Graham Allen MP
Sorry to all of those of you based at Westminster who
tried, and failed, to access the ParliamentLive website above.
Access is barred within the parliamentary estate, presumably on the
grounds that you would just sit there all day with your feet on the
desk watching the boss when you already have a perfectly good TV
screen in your office. Actual reason is insufficient bandwith.
Oh well, it does redress the balance
for everyone else (outside the parliamentary estate)
who can watch ParliamentLive on the Internet! But this only
works if you are NOT using PDVN as a remote user. You have to
access the www.parliamentlive.tv
via an ordinary ISP (Internet Service Provider).
*Actually
this went live in January but was a reasonably well kept secret
until May.

Shopping
via PDVN is "unwise" say PCD
The
following message was sent out by PCD on Thursday
evening.
Users will be aware that PCD
found it necessary to withdraw internet access for a short
period last night. The reason for this was that a
parliamentary user left their credit card details on view on the
Parliamentary Internet site as a result of connecting to a well
known high street supermarket. This was possible due to the design
of the supermarket's website and was not due to the Parliamentary
network. Users are advised that using the parliamentary network
for internet shopping is unwise. Some sites do not always work in
the way one would expect when accessed from a corporate network.
PCD apologise for any
inconvenience caused, but users will understand the reasons why
this action was necessary.

"Unwise"!
Is shopping what the parliamentary intranet is for, ask
"remote" users (those accessing PDVN from outside the
parliamentary estate)? "We have enough trouble logging on
because of what is described as 'insufficient capacity'," said
one incandescent remote user. "Unwise, indeed!"

This will review current ways in which visitors are
received and will look at the options for both location and
functions of a centre, together with likely usage levels. The
consultants engaged for the study would welcome views and ideas
from Members, their staff and staff of the House by
24 May. Please

opened by The Speaker on Tuesday 14 May. For the first time,
visitors to the Palace of Westminster will be able to get a bite to

"Discretion
outside the immigration rules"
This is the title of a helpful
recent Standard Note from the House of Commons Library and dated 1
February 2002. It’s
only four pages long but gives a good overview of this issue and
is one of which all immigration caseworkers should be aware.
You can see the document only
via PDVN (not available on the public Parliament website) at this
address: http://hcl1.hclibrary.parliament.uk/notes/has/snha-01634.pdf
It’s a pdf document so you can’t copy and paste sections of
it. If you want a hardcopy of this
Standard Note ring the Immigration and Asylum Specialist on 020
