Proceeding contribution from Angela Eagle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 October 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Government IT and Software Procurement.
Government IT and Software Procurement
I congratulate the hon. Member for Southport (Dr. Pugh) on securing the debate and thank him for raising the issue. In general, Government IT and software procurement are important matters. He is right to say that, through their decisions on procurement, the Government can have some influence on the way in which the market develops. However, the Government must also provide software that is relevant to the computers that most people in the UK have and, as he admitted, Microsoft Windows is one of the dominant operating systems.
