HC Deb 19 March 1970 vol 798 c209W
Mr. Chichester-Clark

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what progress has been made in his Department's experiments in serial tendering.

Mr. John Silkin

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Richmond, Yorkshire (Mr. Kitson) on 4th February, 1969. No firm conclusions can be drawn for 18 months, when all the post-contract reports on the six experimental programmes will have been received and analysed.—[Vol. 777, c. 199.]
