HC Deb 10 April 1967 vol 744 cc140-1W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will take steps to ensure that there is post-costing in all public contracts in the future.

Mr. Diamond

It is the Government's intention to obtain rights to post-cost contracts in cases where this would be of material help in fixing fair and reasonable prices and in checking that the price-fixing system as a whole is working satisfactorily.
