§ Mr. David Priceasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give full details of how he intends to carry out the Government's decision to place sanctions on the Ford Motor Company in his own Department and in all other public bodies answerable to him.
§ Mr. Eric Deakins:Save in exceptional circumstances of overriding public policy, my Department will not place contracts or invite tenders in respect of Ford products during the currency of the company's excessive pay settlement. I am inviting those public sector bodies for 625W which I am responsible to take into account the Government's decision in this respect.
