HC Deb 19 March 1999 vol 327 cc648-9W
Mr. Maclean

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the costs of upgrading Government computer systems to facilitate the National Changeover Plan for United Kingdom participation in the single currency. [73600]

Ms Hewitt

The overall cost of a UK changeover would depend on the approach taken to the changeover. By planning ahead, we can keep costs to the whole economy to a minimum.
