HC Deb 28 July 1964 vol 699 cc269-70W
Q13. Mr. Hoy

asked the Prime Minister if he will issue a directive to all Government Departments to review their contract procedure as a result of the Lang Report on the Ferranti case; and what steps the Government are taking to regain for the taxpayer a substantial part of the excess profits.

Q14. Mr Dalyell

asked the Prime Minister what action he proposes to take subsequent to the publication of the Lang Committee Report.

The Prime Minister

The second part of the Lang Report will deal with the question of improvements in organisation and contract procedure, but the Government is also in the meantime examining these matters carefully. My right hon. Friend the Minister of Aviation will seek to make a statement today. I would ask hon. Members to await this and the debate on 30th July.
