It has never been over-budget, because we have protected taxpayers' money; nothing is paid to suppliers until systems are successfully working. Given that the noble Lord mentioned the National Health Service, hundreds of millions of X-rays and other medical images have been digitised, allowing patients to be treated more quickly and far more effectively.

My Lords, the noble Baroness is right. I would have no credibility if I stood at this Dispatch Box and said that every IT project of the Government in the past or future has been or will be perfect or successful. Of course there have been problems. We are dealing with a public service that interacts with more than 60 million people. Of course problems can come up. I acknowledge the real issues that occurred in the payments system that the noble Baroness mentioned. However, it has improved—I think that even she would accept that in the past couple of years it has improved enormously.

My Lords, would the Minister accept that not all systems have been successful? Perhaps I may remind her that the Rural Payments Agency is an absolute disgrace. It started back in 2005, it continues to be a disgrace, it still does not pay the payments on time, and it costs some £1,700 to pay each English farmer but only about £300 to pay their equivalent in Scotland.

My noble friend makes a very good point on the NHS. Patients are directly benefiting from the modernisation of NHS IT, including the ability to book their first outpatient appointment through Choose and Book, new digital X-rays, and the electronic transfer of GP records.
My noble friend asked whether there were any successful IT projects. Twenty million people renew their car tax discs online each year at a convenient time for them. I am told that 6,000 people do it on Christmas Day. For business access there is businesslink.gov.uk which helps businesses to increase their profits by millions of pounds and make additional sales by hundreds of millions. People can now apply to receive free school meals in hours, not weeks; they can book their driving tests; they can claim carer’s allowance and legal aid; and they can even become national blood donors. What would Tony Hancock have thought?

The noble Lord makes some very good points. There has been rationalisation and modification since the earlier report of the Select Committee of which he spoke. There has been a great deal of robustness on ensuring that scrutiny, overview, accountability and transparency are to the fore. He will know that there are 14 strands in the new ICT strategy published in January, which now put real pressure on suppliers to up their game.

My Lords, with reference to the National Health Service, have the Government taken into consideration the recommendation of the Public Accounts Committee in its 20th report that,
"The Department should seek to modify the procurement process under the Programme so that secondary care trusts and others can if they wish select from a wider range of patient administration systems and clinical systems",
because it found that,
"The use of only two major software suppliers may have the effect of inhibiting innovation, progress and competition"?
In their report in January of this year, the Government paid some lip service to competition but have not by any practical means widened access to that important and expensive market.

Letter from Stephen Penneck, Director General for ONS, to Lord Laird, dated March 2010.
As Director General of the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking why there was a downwards revision of £4.3 billion in public sector net borrowing for January as published in the Office for National Statistics' February revision of central government current expenditure; which departments reduced their expenditure or increased their income (or both); and by how much each department reduced its expenditure or increased its income (or both). [HL3162]
Revisions to previous months' data for the public sector finances are not unusual, particularly for the most recent periods, reflecting their provisional status. The monthly data are also volatile and it can be misleading to read too much into them.
The single biggest contributor to the revision of the January 2010 data, accounting for £3.2 billion of the total, was central government current expenditure. There were a number of factors contributing to this, including the availability of better estimates from government departments. Earlier months in the current financial year were also revised, leaving the year to date total broadly unchanged.
There was also an upward revision of £1.4 billion to government tax revenues with firmer data replacing figures that were partially estimated.
A breakdown of revisions by government department is not available. A significant part of the revision is due to technical changes, which are not subdivided by department, to some of the components that make up central government current expenditure.

The service-related lump sum redundancy payments under the new arrangements described in my Statement are payable irrespective of whether civil servants are under or over the age of 50 when they are made compulsorily redundant. There is no enhancement to pension (and associated lump sum), which is preserved for payment at normal pension age. Where civil servants wish to draw pension before pension age, it is subject to actuarial adjustment; civil servants within five years of pension age who choose to use their redundancy payment to buy-out the actuarial reduction will be able to receive an unreduced pension.

Departments, agencies and relevant NDPBs are required to follow the Cabinet Office protocols on handling surplus staff situations. Employers unable to fill a vacancy internally (including consideration of their own surplus employees) must advertise the vacancy exclusively, for a minimum period of 10 working days, to the wider community of surplus civil servant/NDPB employees using the CSVacs vacancy handling system.
The protocols were agreed by the Cabinet Office and the general secretaries of the CCSU and endorsed by Permanent Secretaries, the Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Office Ministers. Only in exceptional circumstances are departments granted dispensation to bypass the CSVacs process.

As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what is the distribution of benefits by income decile to married couples with children under three. (HL2843).
Table 1 shows the average cash benefits received by two adult households with children, by equivalised disposable income decile groups in 2007-08, the latest period for which data are available. Figures for married couples and for households with children aged less than three are unavailable.
These estimates are based on data collected through the Expenditure and Food Survey, which has a sample size of approximately 6,100 households. When taking a sub-sample and then breaking down into decile groups, the new sub-samples become quite small. Therefore, caution should be exercised when drawing any conclusions from these estimates.
"¹ Cash benefits include: retirement pension, job seeker's allowance (contribution and income based). incapacity benefit, widow’s benefits, statutory maternity pay/allowance, income support and pension credit, child benefit, housing bereft, invalid care allowance, attendance allowance, disability living allowance, war pensions/war widows’ persons, severe disablement benefit, student support, government training schemes and tax credits (child tax credit and waking tax credit).""Source: Office for National Statistics, based on data from "The effects of taxes and benefits on household income, 2007-08"."
