§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) if he will give for each district in 1983–84 the total expenditure on cleaning, the expenditure on services provided by private cleaning companies, the latter figure as a percentage of the former, and the difference between that percentage and the percentage in the previous year;
(2) if he will give for each district in 1983–84 the total expenditure on catering, the expenditure on services provided by private catering companies, the latter figure as a percentage of the former, and the difference between that percentage and the percentage in 1982–83;
(3) if he will give for each district in 1983–84 the total expenditure on laundry, the expenditure on services provided by private laundry companies, the latter figure as a percentage of the former and the difference between that percentage and the percentage in 1982–83.
§ Mr. Kenneth Clarke[pursuant to his reply, 21 January 1985, c. 330]: Following is the information requested, derived from the annual accounts of regional and district health authorities.
Figures for 1983–84 are not strictly comparable with those for 1982–83 as value added tax on contracted-out services became reclaimable by health authorities on 1 September 1983 and should have been excluded in recording expenditure incurred after that date.
