Since 1981, it has grown to be one of the largest all-party groups in the House, with 130 Parliamentary Members, from both Houses and over 280 industrial members. The remit of IT ranges from computers, computer systems, telecommunications, data protection, broadcasting, the Internet, plus education and employment issues. PITCOM addresses the public policy issues generated by ICT and their application across the public and private sectors of the UK economy. Evening meetings in the House of Commons cover subjects such as Data Protection issues, IT skills requirements for the 21st century, Electronic Crime, Modernising Government Services, Information Warfare, the E-commerce Bill and Third Generation Mobile Telephony. PITCOM has recently extended its influence internationally, and the provision of special Exhibitions of New Technology for newly-elected MPs after General Elections. Contact Details
