National Data Processing Service

HC Deb 21 February 1969 vol 778 c163W

Mr. Dobson

asked the Postmaster-General what financial objective will be set for the National Data Processing Service.

Mr. Stonehouse

The target will be a net return of 8 per cent. on net assets averaged for the period 1968–69 to 1971–72. The target takes into account a common pricing policy for Post Office and non-Post Office customers and allows for the initial setting-up costs of the new organisation.
