"Take education as an example."

Graham Stuart and the cross party Education Committee have managed to head off some of Gove's more ridiculous proposals.

Could we not find some MPs who have some idea of how the Web works to sit on an appropriate cross-party committee?

Your proposals, while interesting, have absolutely no chance of happening on any timescale that is relevant.

Graham Stuart was also involved in education prior to entering Parliament, albeit as a Governor.

And it shows. That was the point I was trying to make. There must be a few MPs who actually know enough about the Web to form a cross party committee within the system as it is. Surely?

There's the Science & Technology Select Committee, with at least some of the membership who have an industrial background. And Julian Huppert is on the Home Affairs Select Committee, which is perhaps more pertinent for this - he's a research scientist, but has been very active in campaigning on web issues.
