§ Mr. McAllionTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list all those services or functions that have been contracted out from his Department since November 1991 without market testing an in-house bid against external competition, with, in each instance, the successful contractor and the reasons for the decision to exclude an in-house bid.
§ Mr. NelsonAll services or functions in the Treasury that have been contracted out since November 1991 were either new services or functions, or had previously been contracted out. In all these cases, there was no in-house team to bid.
