HC Deb 29 January 1991 vol 184 c454W
Mr. Bermingham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he will publish rules establishing the return on capital and turnover which the prison department will be expected to make when submitting a tender for the management of Everthorpe remand centre.

Mrs. Rumbold

[holding answer 25 January 1991]: If the prison service decides to tender for the contract for the management of Everthorpe remand centre we would not propose publishing the make-up of the tender, since this could prejudice or distort the competition for the contract.
