HC Deb 08 March 1976 vol 907 c59W
Mr. Adam Hunter

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the estimated cost of the British Library's plans to implement the setting up to a broad range of computerised bibliographic services in the period 1975 to 1981.

Mr. Hugh Jenkins

I am informed by the British Library that the estimated cost of its plans over the six years is £978,000, including costs such as equipment, accommodation and staff, but allowing for consequential savings on existing costs and increased revenue; though implementation will be governed by the resources made available by Parliament.
