HC Deb 14 October 1996 vol 282 c777W
Mr. Keen

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence where Crown servants were involved in procurement procedure and subsequently joined a relating project company without permission and various sections of the code of procurement ethics are likely to have been breached, what action he will take under section 3.4 of the code. [13980]

Mr. Arbuthnot

Investigations would be made into the circumstances but no action would be taken under section 3.4 of the code since the breach would be of a condition of service and not fraudulent or criminal activity.
