§ 34. Mr. Moonmanasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many local authorities in England and Wales have installed computers; and if he will use his good offices to ensure that such computers can be shared by other local authorities to ensure their full utilization.
§ Mr. John SilkinI understand that some 200 local authorities have their own computers. I certainly hope that authorities will share the use of computers where this makes for efficiency and economy, but think it best that they should make their own arrangements.
