§ Mr. Wiggasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT particulars of contracts which his Department have concluded with Messrs. Ferranti Limited since 1958, giving the dates negotiations started, the dates the contracts were signed, the dates on which delivery of the items began, and, in cases where the contracts have terminated, the dates on which delivery ended, and particulars of the items covered by the contracts, the amounts involved, including the cost of each item and the total amount of each contract and the contract number.
§ Mr. RamsdenIt is not the practice to publish such information but I can say that contracts totalling just over £3 million have been placed with this firm since 1958.
