Mr. Ron Davies

The only major purchase by my Department in the last 5 years was £540,000 on the purchase of replacement hardware and software for a Unix computer system. The planned date of commissioning of this system is the end of February 1998. My Department has no plans for the purchase of major computer systems during the next financial year.
