HC Deb 11 March 1993 vol 220 c668W
Mr. McAllion

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list all those services or functions that have been contracted out from his Department since November 1991 without market testing an in-house bid against external competition, with, in each instance, the successful contractor and the reasons for the decision to exclude an in-house bid.

Mr. Norris

None since the two cases to which I referred in my answer on 12 February,Official Report, columns 864–65: those cases were dealt with under the procedures which pre-dated the publication of "Competing for Quality" (Cm. 1730)).
