HC Deb 05 May 1970 vol 801 c87W
95. Mr. Hastings

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works whether he is satisfied with the present system of fixed price contracts for public works; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Silkin:

Yes. I am satisfied that the general policy of firm price contracts is sound and should continue. Following the meeting with my National Consultative Council in March I am considering whether any changes are desirable in its detailed application.
