SASI: Well, as I said earlier, the proposals made by the Computer Committee have been put to the Chief Secretary's Committee
at its meeting on the 3rd November and these have already been endorsed
by the Chief Secretary's Committee. We are now submitting a paper to Finance Committee for the necessary funds. Incidentally, the
estimated costs for providing this disaster recovery plan is set at $32.6 million for capital cost and $11.3 million for annual recurrent

The Committee wish to enquire the time-
frame which is required to finalise and implement the plan.
SASI: Once the funds are made available, we will be able
to put the plan into effect straight away. It will need somewhere
between 12 to 18 months to purchase the hardware, to employ the necessary staff and to acquire the necessary software systems to provide the full back-up.
Are you, Mr Secretary, coming to the Finance
Committee for the funding before the end of this year ?
