§ Mr. WarrenTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy how many computer work stations there are in his Department; what is the ratio of work stations to civil servants; and how he expects this to change over the next five years.
§ Mr. ParkinsonMy Department currently has approximately 300 work stations, giving a ratio of 1 to 3.3 civil servants. I expect the number of work stations to continue to increase over the next five years, but much will depend on how my Department's business develops.
