Scottish Parliament Allows Tablets, Tweets
- The Drum, Wednesday, March 21, 2012 3 AM
Members of the Scottish Parliament are now allowed to use tablets such as iPads in the chamber during parliamentary business in order to take notes for speaking and not for visiting social networking sites, says Presiding Officer Tricia Marwick. Also, political correspondents in the media gallery will be allowed to use Twitter on a trial basis but it must be done discreetly and “in complete silence.”
