§ Mr. Tebbitasked the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to his reply of 3rd March 1978 to the hon. Member for Chingford concerning the list of names of firms barred from future Government contracts that was to have been circulated under the provisions of paragraph 15 of Circular 123/75 and paragraph 2 of Circular 103/76 but has not been circulated, if his failure to circulate such a list is an indication that no such firms were barred.
§ Mr. ShoreNo; but since the names of the firms were not circulated to local authorities, they would not have been barred by them.
