HC Deb 18 April 1950 vol 474 c37
64. Brigadier Medlicott

asked the Secretary of State for War to what extent the records in Army pay offices are now kept by mechanical means.

Mr. Strachey

Soldiers' accounts held by Army pay offices in the United Kingdom are maintained by accounting machines. The machine system of accounting is being extended to Army pay offices overseas, most of which at present maintain soldiers' accounts by hand.
