§ Mr. Tony BanksTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence how much has been paid by his Department for services provided by private security companies in the most recent available period.
§ Mr. SainsburyFor the year 1987 the value of centrally placed contracts with private security companies is expected to be in the order of £1.2 million.
Information on contracts placed locally is not held centrally. However, these will be of very low value.
