HC Deb 03 June 1998 vol 313 cc226-7W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if commissions were paid by BMARC to companies owned by or connected to Her Majesty's Government. [38898]

Mrs. Beckett

Not to my knowledge. Any legitimate commissions for services rendered paid by BMARC to companies owned by or connected to Her Majesty's Government would have been a matter solely for BMARC or its parent company and the provider of the service. Evidence of any improper commissions paid to companies owned by or connected to Her Majesty's Government should be passed to the relevant authorities.
