§ Dr. Lynne JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how much his Department's computer-aided facilities management systems cost; from whom they were purchased; how many person hours were required to commission them; what the estimated and actual saving has been from their operation; and to what extent the use of such systems accounts for the apparent rise in theft noted in his answer to the hon. and learned Member for Fife, North-East (Mr. Campbell) of 17 February,Official Report, column 973.
§ Mr. BaldryMy Department does not operate computer-aided facilities management systems as such, although, as in other parts of the Department, computers are used by those employed in facilties management as part of their day-to-day work. There is no reason to suppose any link between this and the number of thefts from the Department.
