HC Deb 13 February 1984 vol 54 c20W
Mr. Norman Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many professional engineering managerial advisers, together with independent engineering consultants, were retained by the Monopolies and Mergers Commission inquiry into the maintenance of buses and coaches operated by the London Transport Executive.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

The Monopolies and Mergers Commission did not retain outside consultants for the investigation. Of its staff who worked on the enquiry, two have engineering qualifications and one a background in management consultancy.
