HC Deb 16 January 1995 vol 252 cc296-7W
Miss Lestor

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs why the full list of United Kingdom companies involved in the Ankara Metro project, sanctioned under the aid and trade provision, detailed in the answer to the hon. Member for Wallsend (Mr. Byers) of 19 December,Official Report, column 886, was not included in the Library paper No. 663(3s) detailing ATP projects since 1984.

Mr. Baldry

The paper placed in the Library details ATP projects only by lead contractor. The answer referred to requested details of all United Kingdom and local companies involved in the Ankara Metro project. It is not possible to give details of all United Kingdom companies and local contractors involved in every ATP project because of the large number of companies involved. This information is not held centrally and could be gathered only at disproportionate cost.
