§ Mr. WarrenTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales 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. Peter WalkerThere are currently 277 computer work stations in my Department and a further 30 machines which are used only for word processing, but which could be converted into work stations. The ratio of work stations to civil servants is 1:8. In five years' time I expect the ratio to be in the order of 1:3.
