§ Mr. SpellarTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what discussions she has had with the Department of the Environment regarding the need for the implementation of the Latham report with particular reference to the British Library contract. [411]
§ Mr. SproatMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has not considered it necessary to hold discussions with the Department of the Environment regarding the need for the implementation of the Latham report, following the experience of the British Library construction project.
However, the review by Sir Peter Levene's efficiency unit on Government procurement, which complements the Latham report, did consult the Department and drew upon the experiences of the British Library construction project in formulating its recommendations.
