HC Deb 21 July 1982 vol 28 cc198-9W
24. Mr. Eggar

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what changes he intends to introduce to the management, information and accounting systems within his Department.

Mr. Heseltine

My Department continues to develop MINIS—the management information system for ministers. We are also introducing a computerised budgeting system for administrative expenditure, based on the principle of responsibility accounting for individual units within the Department, giving managers more freedom to manage their commands, and making them more accountable for performance.
