HC Deb 30 March 1981 vol 2 c44W
Mr. Grylls

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment in what ways he furthers the Government's policy towards smaller firms through the procurement policy of his Department.

Mr. Heseltine

The booklet "Tendering for Government contracts-Advice for small firms" published by the Department of Industry in January, explains the opportunities available to small firms to carry out works and supply goods for my Department. In fact, small firms are already widely used by the Department for both these services.
