§ Mr. HeseltineI have been asked to reply.
The security implications for the royal palaces, public buildings and MoD property of contracting out the garden and landscape maintenance work in the royal parks are considered in the same way as they are whenever a contractor's staff undertakes work in such buildings or their gardens.
