§ Mr. Boyesasked the Secretary of State for Defence what percentage, in value, of his Department's contracts for nuclear or nuclear-capable systems made during the period 1974 to 1984 were on a cost plus basis.
§ Mr. LeeRecords are not kept in a form that would enable the question to be answered without disproportionate time and effort. It is our aim to introduce incentive arrangements when pricing contracts placed on a noncompetitive basis and in this respect our approach to the pricing of contracts for nuclear or nuclear capable systems is the same as for contracts generally.
