§ Mr. Nigel EvansTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence which defence procurement contracts have been awarded to companies in Lancashire since 1992. [13273]
861W
§ Mr. ArbuthnotData held centrally on the contracts database focus on accountability of financial matters and do not include details of titles or descriptions of individual contracts. Nor is an address held, although a "location of work" code is recorded. There is no location of work code that conveniently covers Lancashire and a search of records which could include Lancashire based companies revealed over 8,000 contracts. To give the information asked for would require each of these records to be researched, which would incur disproportionate costs.
