HC Deb 21 May 2003 vol 405 c880W
Mr. Kilfoyle

To ask the Prime Minister how many contracts have been awarded by his Government to KPMG since 1997. [113693]

The Prime Minister

Contracts for Government work are awarded within a policy and legal framework which requires the process to be fair and objective and deliver value for money. However, responsibility for any contract rests with the individual Department concerned. Information for the Government as a whole is therefore not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
