HC Deb 01 November 1990 vol 178 c732W
33. Sir Michael McNair-Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state the terms and conditions within which private security companies offer their services.

Mr. John Patten

There are no standard terms or conditions within which private security companies offer their services. It is for individuals to decide whether there is a need for additional protection of private property or possessions, to that provided by the police and it is for individual contractees to set the terms and conditions of service required.
