A Computerized Macro‐economic Data Service for Parliament: the MEDHOC Project

Abstract

The experimental, on‐line, macro‐economic data service (MEDHOC) run jointly in 1973 by the House of Commons Library and ICL is described. The background to the project, system design, development and operation, and reactions of users are set out. Some conclusions are drawn on the future role of such a service in a parliamentary context.
