§ Mr. Currieasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what purchases of computers and tabulators have been made by Government Departments and by boards of nationalised industries in the United Kingdom since October, 1964; how many have been purchased from International 164W Computers and Tabulators Limited; and how many were manufactured in Belfast.
§ Mr. DiamondSince October, 1964, 24 computers have been ordered for Government Departments including the G.P.O., of which 4 were supplied by International Computers & Tabulators Ltd. Information about tabulators, most of which are hired, cannot be provided without disproportionate expense. Figures for nationalised industries are not available.
I understand that I.C.T.'s factory in Belfast does not manufacture either tabulators or complete computers.
