§ Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why the computer ICT 1905 which was installed at the Swansea College of the University of Wales to supplement their IBM 1620 is not available for use in the Cardiff College of the University of Wales; and why Cardiff will be connected for computer purposes with the universities of South-West England.
§ Mr. Gordon Walker:The ICT 1905 computer at the Swansea College of the University of Wales is available for use by the Cardiff College of the University of Wales if required. I understand, however, that pending delivery of an EEC 4/50 computer to the Cardiff College, its computing needs are being met, free of charge, by the manufacturers.
386WAfter the installation of the ICT 1905 at Swansea the Computer Board invited certain universities and university colleges in South-West England and in Wales to participate in an integrated system. All the institutions concerned, including the Cardiff College, supported the proposal.
