HC Deb 23 February 1968 vol 759 cc212-3W
Mr. David Price

asked the Minister of Technology if he will publish an up-to-date list of all computers in use in the scientific establishments under his control and currently on order for such establishments using the same basis of categorisation as that used by the Treasury on pages 102 to 107 of their Organisation and Methods Bulletin, Volume 22, Number 2 of May, 1967, but excluding computers used in process control or in avionics.

Mr. Benn

Details of computers in use in the Ministry of Technology scientific establishments and on order for such establishments were included in the lists published on pages 214 to 217 of the Treasury's Organisation and Methods Bulletin, Vol. 22, No. 4, of November, 1967. Details of subsequent orders are shown in the February, 1968, edition and a comprehensive list is to be published in the May, 1968, edition of the Bulletin.

Mr. David Price

asked the Minister of Technology whether he proposes to give support to the International Computers and Tabulators Limited proposal for a new large computer system, Project 51; and what form this support will take.

Mr. Benn

I hope to be able to make an announcement on this matter shortly.
