HC Deb 27 February 1998 vol 307 c406W
Mr. Redwood

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what is the cost of the Millennium Hotline. [26389]

Mrs. Beckett

[holding answer 30 January 1998]: I understand from Action 2000 that the Hotline is run on a fully commercial basis by a specialist contractor selected through competition. The cost was negotiated and reflects the normal market rate for the service offered. The contract is due for review at the end of March 1998.
