§ Mr. DalyellTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his estimate of the competitiveness of Property Services Agency design costs.
§ Mr. Chope[holding answer 13 December 1989]: Until the PSA has commercial accounting systems, any general estimates of the cost competitiveness of its services would be of doubtful value. In any event, with the introduction of competition it would not be appropriate to publish any 758W estimated comparison between PSA's costs and competitors' fees as this would give competitors information which might harm the PSA's market position.
