Government Departments: Databases

Question

Asked by

Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer
To ask Her Majesty's Government how much money has been spent on procuring and developing government databases since 1997; how many databases have been planned since 1997; and how many of those have been implemented and maintained. [HL2642]

Lord Patel of Bradford
Each government department is responsible for the management of its own databases. The information requested is not held centrally and to do so would incur disproportionate cost.
