§ Mrs. GillanTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions which projects, not related to the year 2000 compliance problem, are being(a) restricted and (b) terminated in order to free information technology resources. [37484]
§ Angela EagleFor DETR Central, priority projects have been identified, including existing commitments for projects already under-way and provision for Y2000 compliance work. Other projects require further work before needing an allocation of resources, but we may be able to accommodate these in the IT Investment Programme later in the year. At this early stage in the year, no projects have been specifically restricted or terminated. The IT investment programmes in the Department's Agencies are also in this position.
