§ Mr. Michael Lathamasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has yet informed local authorities of the names of any contractors alleged to have breached the pay limits, under the terms of paragraph 15 of Circular 123/75, so that they may be excluded from tender lists; if so, which were the firms; and how the information was communicated to local authorities.
§ Mr. ArmstrongNo. Formal action to debar contractors from tendering for Government contracts has not so far proved necessary. Should a contractor be so barred, local authorities will be notified by means of a circular.
