§ Mr. MilburnTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list those services that have been market-tested by his Department and won by the private sector, indicating the organisation that won the tender and its value.
§ Mr. Nelson[holding answer 12 December 1994]: In Her Majesty's Treasury, no services have been awarded to a private sector supplier as a result of market testing which involved an in-house team. However, following a strategic decision to contract out most internal audit work, contracts were awarded, following competition, to Price Waterhouse and Touche Ross.
