asked the Prime Minister if, pursuant to her reply to the hon. Member for Manchester, Gorton, Official Report, 14 July, column 396, on the subject of departmental purchasing policy of computers, she will now announce the decision of the Government on the procurement of computers for the Inland Revenue's PAYE project.

As I said in the House earlier today, the Government are still considering this important matter and we shall make an announcement as soon as we have reached a decision.
