(2) how many market-testing initiatives have (a) now been completed, (b) are currently under way and (c) are planned; and if he will give details of the initiatives in each category;
(3) if he will give details of the results of the market-testing exercises undertaken to date; and whether each testing exercise indicated that the service should be provided in-house or externally.
