§ Mr. Norman LamontDuring the financial years 1983–84 and 1984–85, which are the last two years for which statistics are available, the Ministry of Defence placed a total of seven contracts (including amendments) with Securicor Ltd. and a total of 58 contracts (including amendments) with RCA Ltd.
Because of the nature of some of those contracts it would be inappropriate to name any of the establishments concerned in them.
