HC Deb 28 April 1994 vol 242 c241W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to employ workers abroad to programme and load the police national computer; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Charles Wardle

I assume that the hon. Member has in mind the conversion of the national collection of criminal records into digital form for entry on the police national computer. My right hon. and learned Friend expects to make an announcement on this matter shortly.
