National Air Traffic Services (29 Mar 2001)

Lord Macdonald of Tradeston: ...investment which will give them new equipment. I anticipate that if we have an accelerated pace of technology, under the new system Swanwick will be the first to benefit from it. These days advanced systems like Swanwick are subject to very regular upgrading and replacement, and often the process is a very organic one. I for one am pleased that the Airline Group stands ready to enhance the...

The London and Frankfurt Stock Exchanges (24 May 2000)

Lord Lamont of Lerwick: ...the two systems are likely to be rather similar. It has been reported that Xetra has been out of action quite a lot in the recent past, including last week. Both systems are old, and faster and more advanced systems are becoming available. This time I hope that the right choice has, at last, been made but yet another change will be extremely expensive for the small brokers, even if it is...

Transport Safety (20 Oct 1999)

John Heppell: ...will take longer to develop than TPWS. We cannot wait for those systems to be developed. Instead, we must act now and introduce available protection systems. We must then try to ensure that more advanced systems are introduced as they are developed, and as it becomes apparent that they will work. Clearly we do not want to spend public money on things that do not work. The Government's...

Orders of the Day — Foreign Affairs and Defence (24 Oct 1996)

Mr Michael Portillo: ...but it is improving fast. Even today, some NATO territory is within the arc of threat of some of those missiles fired from the middle east. North Korea is exporting missiles. If it exports its more advanced systems, more NATO nations will be brought within range. There is a risk that, despite our best efforts, stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction will grow and spread. Over a dozen...

Orders of the Day — European Communities (Amendment) Bill: Treaty on European Union ( 8 Mar 1993)

Mr Harry Barnes: ...democratic decision making and should he determined democratically. There will be a bean feast for Brussels bureaucrats. I am not against bureaucracy in all cases. One cannot have democracy in the advanced systems of the modern world without a host of associated bureaucracies. Bureaucracy should be under solid democratic control and checks, and should not itself run the show. Under the...

The Gulf and RAF (21 Jan 1993)

Mr Keith Mans: ...2000 is going ahead, with all four nations taking part. This aircraft is a vital part of the RAF's future. It will provide a first-class air platform on which increasingly sophisticated and advanced systems can be mounted. Like my hon. Friend the Member for Tayside, North (Mr. Walker), I am an favour of updating the Tornado GR1 with a stand-off weapon, thus enabling it to carry out raids...

Financing the BBC (Peacock Report) (20 Nov 1986)

Hon. Douglas Hurd: ...has been a scarcity of broadcasting spectrum; and, secondly, because the consumer could not register his preferences directly. The report argues that technology is changing all that and that new advanced systems for delivering programmes, mainly cable and satellite, will lead to a multiplicity of channels. Sophisticated techniques for encryption, decryption and direct charging will enable...

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: first day's debate (12 Jun 1985)

Mr Patrick Duffy: .... Secondly, there is the need to modernise and increase active and reserve forces in quantity and quality. The Opposition are not asking for much. We are not asking for the most sophisticated and advanced systems. We are, like a growing body of opinion within the Alliance on the professional side, asking for improvement at the other end of the spectrum. Lord Carrington made such a plea at...

West Midlands (15 Mar 1985)

Mrs Renée Short: ...equipment manufacturers, had recently researched and developed the digitial exchange now known as System X. It is very good, and has been hailed throughout the world as one of the most technically advanced systems and as the foremost on its field. It has been welcomed as a technical success and for the benefit that it will bring to the British telecommunications industry and its export...

Opposition Day: Inmos (21 Jun 1984)

Mr Peter Shore: .... INMOS would be broken up, its strategy would be abandoned, its products would be discontinued and its great achievement and its prospects as a worldwide exporter of RAMs and still more advanced systems would be aborted. We should be dependent for economic and strategic uses on American extra-territoriality legislation and American presidential policies—a point which ought to weigh...

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: Equipment Expenditure (10 Apr 1984)

Mr Geoffrey Pattie: ...hon. Friend knows, 55 per cent. of the Trident programme will be produced in the United Kingdom. That includes the submarine, the warhead for the missile, the fire control system and various other advanced systems in the submarine.

Orders of the Day — The Royal Navy (19 Jul 1982)

Mr Peter Blaker: ...sonar, the development of torpedoes into true guided weapons and the advent of short take-off and vertical take-off aircraft have pushed up costs with enhanced capability. A new type 22 with its advanced systems costs more than £130 million and is three times as expensive in real terms as its predecessor, the Leander. A Sea Wolf costs three times more than the Sea Cat, but, of course it...

Prayers: Information Technology (27 Nov 1981)

Mr Gwilym Roberts: ...users and therefore, indirectly, leading systems developers. Consequently, the serious effect on private industry, which has depended upon the public sector which has gone in for more and more advanced systems. Now vital developments are being held up. The Government should also consider using advanced technology to stimulate economic growth. One argument for the Inmos project was that it...

Prayers: Information Technology (11 Jul 1980)

Mr Michael Marshall: ...considerable efforts, particularly in the Department of Trade, to looking at these issues, among many others. It was suggested that the Government should gather a number of applications for advanced systems within their own activities and procure them from the British technology industry. As an enthusiast, I look forward to the day when we can get the electronic office into Whitehall. A...

Orders of the Day — Supply: The Royal Navy (19 Jun 1978)

Mr Patrick Duffy: .... The hon. Member pressed me on the matter of weight. Of course, he is right. The system has been affected by some weight growth in development, but this is not unacceptable in the development of advanced systems when the threat itself is developing. We are keeping the question of weight under review. As always in these situations, there are trade-offs to be considered, and opportunities...

Orders of the Day — The Royal Navy (19 May 1977)

Mr Patrick Duffy: ...system in the world for close-range defence of ships against missiles. Trials have been encouraging. It has suffered weight growth in development, but this is not unacceptable in the development of advanced systems when the threat itself is developing. Ship fitting is planned for the Type 22 and other frigates on as wide a basis as possible, but the final decisions have still to be taken....

Orders of the Day — Post Office (Borrowing) Bill (10 Nov 1972)

Mr John Eden: ...of handling centres with automatic or mechanised sorting equipment in order to reduce the heavy dependence of the business on manpower. Research and development work will continue on still more advanced systems, including the possible use of optical character recognition techniques for the automatic sorting of certain types of post-coded mail. It speaks highly of the attitude of the trade...

Post Office (Borrowing Powers) ( 6 Apr 1971)

Mr Christopher Chataway: ...technology of the Post Office has caused the Post Office and the manufacturers particular problems, and a number of those problems remain to be solved. For the future, the development of even more advanced systems can be foreseen and this, together with developments in the technology of long-distance circuits and the increasing use of the telecommunications system for data transmission,...

Royal Navy (Rum Ration) (28 Jan 1970)

Mr James Wellbeloved: ...their alcoholic strengths, will still be available. What a picture this presents of the Navy of the 'seventies: the keen eyed, clear-headed sober, rum-less, seaman, manning the complex machinery and advanced systems in Her Majesty's ships, ready for instant action, capable of clear judgment. What of the command structure—the ships' officers, the officers on the bridge, the officers in...

Prayers: Ministry of Aviation (Dissolution Order) ( 1 Feb 1967)

Mr Tam Dalyell: ...of Defence to get it to drop the Anglo-French Variable Geometry aircraft and break the vicious circle whereby we have to build ever more sophisticated aircraft in order to be able to build even more advanced systems in the next generation. After all, where does this come to a halt, unless one has some kind of a weapons freeze? It is not a question of unilateral disarmament or anything of...
