HC Deb 01 March 1983 vol 38 c108W
17. Mr. Eggar

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he has yet assessed the extent to which the MINIS system adopted in his Department will differ from the MINIS system recently applied in the Department of the Environment.

Mr. Heseltine

The principles and objectives of the MINIS system which I am introducing into the Ministry of Defence will be the same as in the Department of the Environment. The details of the Ministry of Defence system will of course need to take account of the special circumstances of my Department, and will have to allow a linkage with existing systems of defence management information and control. The first MINIS round in MOD, starting shortly, is designed to establish how this can best be done.
