HC Deb 07 June 1988 vol 134 c572W
Mr. David Porter

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Waveney on 24 May, in respect of regional health authority competitive tendering, he will undertake a central initiative to make all solicitors', architects', quantity surveyors' and engineers' services subject to tender.

Mrs. Currie

Not at this time. I am satisfied with the pace at which health authorities are themselves opening up these services to competition.
