HC Deb 16 January 1984 vol 52 c59W
Mr. Prescott

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is his policy in employing private security firms in road construction projects; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ridley

It is for contractors to safeguard the works until the contract is sufficiently complete to be handed over to the Department.

On occasion it has been found to be necessary for my Department to employ security service firms to safeguard our property and equipment.
