Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his answer of 24 November,Official Report, column 360, if he will give the date on which Airwork Ltd. was placed on the list of contractors requiring special attention; and if it has now been removed from that list.

Mr. Freeman

Airwork Ltd. was placed on the list of contractors requiring special attention on 21 May 1993. The current entry on the list reflects the change of name and ownership.

Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his answer of 24 November,Official Report, column 360, on which date each contractor was placed on the list of contractors requiring special attention; and which of them have since won contracts with his Department.

Mr. Freeman

One in 1988, two in 1990, one in 1991, four in 1993 and two in 1994. It is my Department's policy not to contract with listed contractors for work similar to that which gave rise to concerns about their quality management.
