HC Deb 14 April 1965 vol 710 c222W
Mr. Charles Morrison

asked the Minister of Technology what steps he has taken to encourage all Government Departments and all organisations which receive Government aid wishing to purchase a computer to request tenders from British manufacturers.

Mr. Cousins

In computer procurement for Government Departments tenders are invariably invited from British manufacturers. Over the public sector as a whole the Ministry of Technology, through its Computer Advisory Service will ensure that appropriate consideration is given to the products of the British computer industry.
