§ 8. Mr. Liptonasked the Postmaster-General how many tape recorders were purchased by his Department during the past year.
§ Mr. K. ThompsonMost tape recorders for the Post Office, like other office machines, are purchased by Her Majesty's Stationery Office. Eight recorders were supplied during 1957. In addition, we purchased three tape recorders for general research purposes.
§ Mr. LiptonHow many tape recorders are now in use in the London region? Can the Minister give an assurance that none of them is required for telephone-tapping purposes?
§ Mr. ThompsonIf the hon. Gentleman reframed that question it would be very acceptable on the Order Paper.
