HC Deb 22 March 1971 vol 814 cc36-7W
Mr. Costain

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make a statement on the work of the committee concerned with the application of computers in the construction industry; how many meetings it held in 1970; how many reports it produced; and what is its programme of work for 1971.

Mr. Amery

The Committee met four times in 1970 and published one report. It has already published two reports in 1971. Its programme of work for 1971 is to stimulate profitable computer applications in all sectors of the industry. At a conference on 4th and 5th April it will appraise its work and consider its future programme.
