Scotland goes digital?

The Scottish Executive have announced a consultation on the Electronic Communications (Scotland) Act 2006. The purpose of this consultation is to seek views/comments on the proposals to amend appropriate legislation to allow for electronic communications to be accepted in the same way as "in writing" or "by hand" submissions.
Starting: Friday, January 27, 2006 Deadline: Friday, March 24, 2006

This should pave the way , one hopes for fully electronic conveyancing (following the existing ARTL project), electronic application for legal aid (also already being piloted), and , perhaps electronic voting? No more current details - queries to christine.gresswell@scotland.gsi.gov.uk .
