That this House congratulates the London Borough of Greenwich for acting promptly to pay compensation, as well as to destroy all illegal and pirated software programmes and to buy lawful replacements when conclusive evidence of the possession of illegally copied software on virtually every one of the 35 or so personal computers inspected was presented by the Business Software Alliance (BSA) and the Federation Against Software Theft (FAST); and urges all local authorities to conduct an audit of all software currently in use by them and to take similar action as to that by Greenwich when evidence of unlawful possession of pirated software emerges.

This motion has been signed by a total of 1 MPs.
