§ Mr. Hoyleasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the 58 Ministry of Defence contracts which have been advertised in the EEC Official Journal under directive 72/62/EEC by value and type; and if he will list, by value and type, the five which have been awarded overseas.
§ Dr. GilbertA list of the 58 advertisements has been placed in the Library. The list does not give estimated values since there is no requirement under Directive 72/62/EEC to do so.
The five awarded overseas were for fresh provisions for BAOR for which British firms showed little or no interest and together totalled about £1 million in value.
