Letter from M. E. G. Fogden to Mr. Jim Cunningham, dated 21 November 1995:
The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your questions about the major companies to which Remploy supplies its products and about Government funding for Remploy in 1995/96.
I am unable to list Remploy's major customers as this information is commercial in confidence to the Company. During the period 1 April 1995 to 31 March 1996 Remploy will receive Government funding of £94.161 million.
I hope this is helpful.
§ Mr. CunninghamTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans she has to contract out Remploy to the private sector. [1025]
