HC Deb 13 February 1980 vol 978 c659W
Mr. McCusker

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will publish the list of approved management consultants who may be employed by Northern Ireland Government Departments.

Mr. Humphrey Atkins

There is no list of approved management consultants who may be employed by Northern Ireland Government Departments. According to their ability to undertake a specific assignment, a minimum of three firms are normally approached and selection is then made by competitive tender.
