HC Deb 21 December 1979 vol 976 cc422-3W
Mr. Squire

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what changes he proposes in the organisation of the Central Computer Agency.

Mr. Channon

The agency is to be re-organised as part of the process of implementing the recommendations of the "Longer Term Review of Administrative Computing in Central Government" published last year. The aim is to make more effective use of the agency's resources in controlling and supporting major Government computer projects; and to improve its ability to handle the growing connection between computers and telecommunications. The name of the agency will be changed to the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency from 2 January 1980.
