HC Deb 18 June 1999 vol 333 c262W
Mr. Bob Russell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he will announce the name of the preferred bidder for the Colchester Garrison PFI project. [87006]

Mr. Doug Henderson

The detailed evaluation of the bids from the three shortlisted consortia, competing for the Colchester Garrison PFI project, is now complete. A recommendation for the preferred bidder is currently being considered by my Department and I hope to be in a position to make a formal announcement sometime later in the summer.
