HC Deb 16 June 1981 vol 6 c318W
45. Mr. Myles

asked the Secretary of State for Industry how many schools have now benefited from assistance towards the purchase of a microcomputer under the Government's new scheme.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

This scheme is being financed and administered by the Department of Industry. The scheme started on 1 June 1981 and early indications show about 300 applications are currently being processed. Provided these schools are secondary schools currently without a microcomputer and two teachers have either had or can be available for basic training, they will benefit from the scheme.

I shall keep the House informed of progress of the scheme.
