§ Mr. Brothertonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what has been the estimated saving in the operation of licensing vehicles by using the Swansea centre computer in comparison with the cost of using the old manual methods in local offices.
§ Mr. MarksThe current cost of vehicle licensing includes not only the cost of the licensing centre at Swansea but also that of maintaining the local system whilst the transfer to the centralised system is being effected. Savings are therefore not expected during the transitional period.
