HC Deb 18 January 1996 vol 269 c735W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what contracts his Department currently has with DSB Special Batteries. [9958]

Mr. Arbuthnot

The central database maintained by the Ministry of Defence Procurement Executive shows that there are 17 contracts valued at approximately 00A3;2.4 million with DSB Special Batteries. It is possible that there may be some other work placed with the company by one of the agencies or local purchase units, but this information is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
