Mrs. Roche

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proportion of his Department's budget was spent on procurement from small and medium enterprises in 1995–96. [27536]

Mr. Boswell

From information held centrally, some 10 per cent. of procurement expenditure was with enterprises identified as having under 200 employees. The Ministry does not at this time distinguish between small and medium-sized enterprises.
