Question

To ask the Rt. hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington, representing the House of Commons Commission, with reference to the Answer of 12 May 2016 to Question 36829, on House of Commons Annunciator System: Internet, when procurement for that system will be completed; and when he expects that system to be in operation.

A successful procurement process was concluded in June 2016 for a new annunciator system. As part of phase one of this project, we anticipate the new software will be rolled out by Easter 2017. The system has been specified in such a way that it will enable delivery of the data to mobile devices as part of phase two of this project. A delivery date for phase two has yet to be agreed.
