Lord Bridges of Headley
My noble friend makes a good point. Clearly, there are going to be many lessons to learn from this upset.
Lord Davies of Stamford (Lab)
When the system was contracted for, whether software, hardware or a computer service company, was the volume specified more or less than the quarter of a million per hour at which it broke down? In other words, was the system adequately specified but it broke down, or was it inadequately specified?
Lord Bridges of Headley
The noble Lord makes a very good point. We need to look at the specifications and at the surges that took place. I am absolutely not complacent about this. We need to look at exactly that kind of question.
