§ Mr. McAllionTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list all those services or functions contracted out in his Department and agencies, since November 1991, in which the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981 were not applied.
§ Mr. Charles WardleWhether or not the regulations apply in any particular case will depend on the nature of the work awarded and the contractors' own proposals for carrying it out. The replies of 9 March at column476 and 18 June at column 753 listed the areas of the Home Office which have been contracted out. The regulations did not apply to the following:
- Management of Wolds prison
- Management of Blakenhurst prison
- Court escort and custody services in Humberside and the east midlands
- Catering services (Downview, Belmarsh, Bullingdon, Holme House, Woodhill, Highdown and Lancaster Farms)
- Forensic Science Service waste disposal
Information concerning whether the regulations applied to any other Home Office services for which contracts have been awarded since November 1991 could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
