Mr. Menzies Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether it is the policy of his Department to mark property with an indelible mark or similar means of identification.

Mr. Eggar

DES property is not indelibly marked, but an inventory of serial numbers is maintained for such items as personal computers and printers, television receivers and video recorders.
