HC Deb 19 July 1993 vol 229 cc85-6W
Mr. McAllion

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how he will ensure the security and safety of sites which pass to the custody of private contractors as a result of the market testing programme.

Mr. Aitken

Where a site passes to the custody of private contractors as a result of the market-testing programme, the contractors are required to conform to strict guidelines. Their adherence to these is monitored closely and regularly.
