§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services why his answer of 19 December, Official Report, c. 61, states that the Huntingdon district health authority spent £466,526 on catering contracts in 1982–83 when its total expenditure on catering was only £269,125.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeI regret the table published in theOfficial Report contained a few printing errors, the amendment of which I am arranging. Their effect was not significant except in the case of Huntingdon district health authority where the figures should have read:
£ Catering Total expenditure 269,125 Private contracts Nil Domestic/cleaning Total expenditure 466,526 Private contracts 21 Laundry Total expenditure 80,364 Private contracts Nil
