HC Deb 19 May 1965 vol 712 cc246-8W
Mr. Charles Morrison

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will give a list of local authorities who have computers on order for early delivery, showing the estimated date of installation, name of manufacturer, type of computer, and proposed function for which it is to be used, respectively.

Mr. MacColl

The details of computers on order by local authorities are as shown in the following list. Authorities having machines for the first time are likely to use them for general financial purposes initially; replacement computers will probably be used also for the specialist tasks detailed in the reply given to the hon. Member on 29th March, 1965.
