The Houses of Parliament have been hit by renewed IT issues following assurances that past IT problems had been resolved.

A report by Exaronews.com revealed that workers in Parliament were unable to access systems and had limited internet connectivity.

The IT failures came 90 minutes after a memo was posted assuring that past IT problems had been resolved. The blame for the previous IT disruptions had been laid on unnamed IT contractors.

In 2013, Joan Miller, the head of IT at the houses of Parliament said: “The services we have are secure, they add resilience. We have small applications that sit in the cloud, and it reduces my worry that the services are going to break.”
