'UK unites to beat bug

Ian Mitchell

Infrastructure bodies and the Government are joining forces to help the UK battle through the millennium date crisis. At a ground-breaking meeting in early January, project managers in energy, healthcare, banking and telecoms issued a five-point plan which called on the Government to co-ordinate the national response.

This week the Government broadly accepted the group's request, making the UK the first country in the world to adopt an integrated infrastructure policy. The meeting was arranged by Martyn Emery of Corporation 2000 and hosted by Graham Reid, head of BT's millennium programme.

It was attended by 17 project leaders from 15 organisations, including Shell, Railtrack, Nuclear Electric and Action 2000. Their five-point agenda includes a demand for a government minister to co-ordinate planning and testing among the infrastructure bodies, spanning public and private sectors.
