HC Deb 23 December 1982 vol 34 c657W
Mr. Bill Walker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the practice of Her Majesty's Stationery Office with regard to placing print orders with outside contractors.

Mr. Hayhoe

HMSO places about 70 per cent. of its annual printing and binding requirements with outside contractors. Tenders are invited from those firms which express an interest in undertaking HMSO work and have the capability of producing the particular type of work to the required qualities and time scales.

Mr. Bill Walker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether Benn Brothers has any print contract with Her Majesty's Stationery Office.

Mr. Hayhoe

HMSO has no record of Benn Brothers requesting inclusion on its lists of tenderers.
