HC Deb 01 July 1947 vol 439 c1124
25. Mr. George Wallace

asked the Secretary of State for War to what extent accounting branches of his Department are using modern methods of mechanised accounting.

Mr. Bellenger

Modern methods of mechanised accounting are widely used by both cash and store accounting branches of my Department. The possibility of extending their use where this will promote economy and efficiency is under constant review by a special organisation and methods section, in close liaison with the Treasury.

Mr. Wallace

Is my right hon. Friend aware that the answer he has given is extremely satisfactory?
