§ Mr. MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales when the design and printing contract for the valleys initiative leaflets was put out to tender; if the tender was advertised as an open competition; how many firms made bids; and if the winning bid was the lowest tender.
§ Mr. David HuntTime available for the production of the original publicity material in 1988 for the valleys initiative was very limited. The companies which carried 671W out the printing and design work, and which also did subsequent revisions of the publicity material, were not selected by competitive tender.
