Mr. John Mark Taylorasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received seeking the inclusion of professional services including architectural and engineering services within the ambit of those services for which local authorities will have to seek tenders within the terms of the Local Government Act.
§ Mr. Chope[pursuant to his reply, 20 July 1987]: The Department has received several representations arguing for the inclusion of further services in the list of those subject to compulsory competition.
There has been one formal representation about the inclusion of professional services since the Bill was published.
