§ Mr. ByersTo ask the President of the Board of Trade how many contracts his Department or Government agencies responsible to his Department have entered into with Spencer Stuart consultants in the last two years.
§ Mr. Ian TaylorThe Department is not aware of any contracts for consultancy advice awarded centrally to Spencer Stuart consultants in the last two years. I have asked the chief executives of the agencies to reply direct to this question, as it falls into the category of their day-to-day operational matters. I will arrange for copies of these letters to be placed in the Library of the House.
