HC Deb 22 April 1958 vol 586 cc61-2W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will give general directions to the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board and the South of Scotland Electricity Board to publish complete commercial accounts of their finances during the past calendar local firms for Government work in Scotland.

Mr. J. N. Browne

Contracts for Government work are normally placed after competitive tendering. Local firms are given the opportunity to tender for work within their capacity.
