Dear Mr. Walgrove,

Thank you for your request for information.

I note that you have also made a request to the House of Commons relating to its staff. The position, and therefore the response, is similar for the House of Lords Administration.

The Administration does not hold the information you have requested. The parliamentary network is used by a number of distinct groups, one of which is staff employed by the House of Lords administration (House staff). Others include Members and their staff.

House staff may be required to use the Internet for work-related purposes. They are also permitted to make occasional personal use of the Internet provided such use does not interfere with the performance of their normal duties and is in accordance with the usage policy. Internet access is not monitored as a general policy due to privacy issues. Any monitoring would have to be absolutely necessary and permitted by law.

You may, if dissatisfied with the handling of your request for information, ask the House of Lords to conduct an internal review. Requests for an internal review should be addressed to [email address] or to the Freedom of Information Officer, House of Lords, London, SW1A 0PW. Arrangements will be made for someone who has not been involved in dealing with your request to conduct an internal review within 20 working days.

If, following your review, you remain dissatisfied with the House's treatment of your request for information then you may take your complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office at Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

Yours sincerely

Frances Grey
Freedom of Information Officer
House of Lords
