§ Mr. Gryllsasked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will give details, including specifying the terms of reference, of the consultants engaged and the cost of any surveys undertaken for his Department on the subject of office systems; and if he will indicate whether the National Enterprise Board holds shares in any of the consultancy firms employed.
§ Mr. Kenneth Baker[pursuant to the reply, 22 July 1981]: Langton Information Systems Ltd. has been engaged to assist the Department. It would not be in accordance with usual practice to disclose the value of an individual contract. There is no National Enterprise Board shareholding in the consultant company.
