HC Deb 17 February 1984 vol 54 c332W
Mr. Grylls

asked the Secretary of State for Defence in what percentage proportion of the contracts given by his Department more than one firm is invited to bid.

Mr. Lee

In the financial year 1982–83 the Ministry of Defence placed 21 per cent by value, of its headquarter's contracts following competition between two or more companies. We intend to increase this proportion by making use of competition wherever it is practicable to do so.
