HC Deb 20 April 1993 vol 223 c67W
Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish(a) the Coopers and Lybrand Study of 1992 and (b) the privatisation return of the same year which identified Home Office businesses thought suitable for market testing.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

No. Both documents were produced for internal management purposes and the former was classified "commercial-in-confidence".

Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what percentage of Home Office jobs will be the subject of market testing exercises with a view to contracting out between September 1993 and March 1995.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

A provisional Home Office market testing programme for 1993–94 has been drawn up, but I have not yet settled the final programme which I will announce in due course.
