Default Met Office needs more powerful computers - minister

"The scientific rationale for the Met Office buying powerful
supercomputers to improve weather forecasts is "clear and accepted" - Ed

But Labour MP Graham Stringer said ministers should not rush into the
move as the computers would be a "lot cheaper and better in a few years
time".
