To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what percentage of the Information Technology Services Agency's current major software developments are undertaken or managed by private consultants.

Mr. Hague

ITSA currently has 59 major software development projects. The use and combination of consultants, contractors and civil servants vary on each of the projects. In 1993–94, 62.3 per cent. of ITSA's total personnel costs for software development was spent on consultancy/contractors.
