New Scottish Parliament sites – clicks and mortar

The Scottish Parliament launched its new improved website on 6 September prior to the opening of the new Parliament buildings. Amongst the new features are:

  • MSP biographical pages which include individual interviews with Members filmed in the new building during the summer.
  • A dedicated page for each committee with up-to-date information on consultations and links to related papers and reports.
  • An interactive educational section which includes resources, games and quizzes catering for children and young people from preschool to secondary school age.
  • An online update service which sends subscribers information about the latest parliamentary events.

Also launched at the same time is the Parliament’s new webcasting site Holyrood.tv which takes over from the popular scottishparliamentlive.com and will have live coverage of proceedings in the Main Chamber and all six committee rooms as well as an archive of business from the previous two weeks.
