§ Mr. CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he has any plans to use Viper computer chips in safety critical systems controlled by his Department; what other steps are being taken to avoid computer-aided accidents; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. SainsburyI anticipate that Viper will be used in critical defence equipment delivered from the early 1990s onwards, as part of the Department's continuing work on high integrity computing.
