PA Wellington The job of running the Government’s computers should stay with the State Services Commission, said the Minister of State Services (Mr Thomson). The Controller and Audi; tor-General (Mr A. C. Shailes) has said that the commission should give the job up to a department specially established to do it. However, Mr Thomson said that the Government did not want another department, with all the additional
administrative overheads that could go with it. The responsibility for the computers was once separated from the commission, and those arrangements were “most unsatisfactory,” Mr Thomson said. There would always be difficulties witli organisation in this “very complex, rapidly ■ changing, difficult' management area. “However, I am satisfied that these are minimal with the present, arrangements,” the Minister said.
