HC Deb 19 November 1979 vol 974 cc16-7W
Mr. Grylls

asked the Lord Privy Seal how many small businesses feature on the approved list of suppliers maintained by his Department for purchase contracts by means of selective tender.

Mr. Hurd

I regret that information on the size of businesses on approved lists of suppliers for purchase contracts by means of selective tender is not available and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
