HC Deb 24 February 1983 vol 37 c533W
Mr. John Garrett

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the reply to the hon. Member for Norwich, South of 21 February, Official Report, c. 348–49, why only one firm was invited to make an offer for Her Majesty's Stationery Office Gateshead Press.

Mr. Hayhoe

Because that firm had been selected by British Telecom to print its alphabetical telephone directories, and the press was dedicated to such work.
