HC Deb 12 June 1990 vol 174 c182W
Mr. Paice

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how much money he estimates to have been saved by compulsory competitive tendering in education in each of the last five years.

Mrs. Rumbold

No such estimates have been made for education, since the money saved by compulsory competitive tendering, and the scope for further savings, will vary between local education authorities depending on their circumstances.
