The Electronic Communications Bill, mentioned in the Queen's Speech
last week, is designed to promote "electronic commerce and electronic
government" and will give legal status to "electronic signatures".
I trust this will, at last, be the green light for fully automating
the ill requesting process by doing away with the need for paper copy
signatures.
Can we look forward to a statement from BLDSC confirming this?
