§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will list by Department of Social Security office how many microcomputers are held by each office at the latest available date; how many editions of software have been produced since the start of the social fund; and how many serious errors in the software have been identified.
§ Mr. Peter Lloyd[holding answer 5 December 1988]: The number of microcomputers held by each local social security office is shown in the table. Since April 1988, there have been two further editions each of income support and social fund software and one further edition each of casepaper location and direct payments software. A number of errors, of varying degrees of seriousness, have been found in the social fund software, many of these have already been corrected and all outstanding serious errors will be rectified in a further release of the software later this month.
