To ask the Secretary of State for Defence

(2) how many desktop computers should have been rolled out to date according to the roll-out timetable for Increment 1 of the Defence Information Infrastructure contract.
Adam Ingram (Minister of State (Armed Forces), Ministry of Defence; East Kilbride, Strathaven & Lesmahagow, Labour)
holding answer
A total of 2,244 new DII(F) desktops had been delivered by
4,647 DII(F) desktops should have been rolled out by the end of December 2006.
The rate of delivery of DII(F) desktops is determined by a formal rollout schedule and this schedule relies on sites being prepared and ready to receive them. Delays in these areas, and in the provision of some software releases, have had an adverse effect on the speed with which ATLAS are able to roll out DII(F) to sites.
