§ Mr. WarrenTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will place in the Library a copy of the document published recently giving guidelines of practice by Her Majesty's Government of information technology goods and services.
§ Mr. MaplesI have been asked to reply.
I assume that my hon. Friend is referring to the "Review of the Information Systems/Information Technology Procurement Processes" undertaken by CCTA—the Government centre for information systems —and involving extensive consultation with industry and Government departmental customers. A management summary entitled "1991 Update" was published recently and I have placed a copy of this in the Library. A comprehensive guide giving detailed advice on best practice is due for publication next week and a copy of that will be placed in the Library as soon as it is available.
