HC Deb 16 January 1985 vol 71 c152W
Mr. Heddle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment pursuant to his Answer to the hon. Member for Mid-Staffordshire on 19 November 1984, Official Report, column 30, if he will describe in detail the options that his Department is examining to prevent local authorities from discriminating against private construction companies for reasons which have nothing to do with the quality of their workmanship.

Mr. Waldegrave

Further to his statement in the House on 7 November my right hon. Friend will very shortly be issuing a consultation paper dealing with this amongst other issues.
