HC Deb 25 April 1968 vol 763 c68W
38. Mr. Ian Lloyd

asked the Postmaster General what methods he will use to co-ordinate the provision of computing facilities to the general public and other nationalised industries by the organisation being established by the Post Office for that purpose.

Mr. Joseph Slater

The only coordinating function that the National Data Processing Service will perform will be the common use of its installations by different customers, and encouragement wherever practicable for them to make maximum use of common programmes.
