HC Deb 14 July 1978 vol 953 c830W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Defence when the standard general conditions of contract for the purchase of Government stores, and related procedures were last reviewed with a view to their simplification.

Dr. Gilbert

These standard conditions and related procedures are kept under regular review in consultation with the CBI. The aim is to keep them as simple as possible consistent with their adequacy for general use in the drafting and administration of Government contracts.
