HC Deb 17 May 2000 vol 350 c181W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list the contracts entered into with private sector companies for the provision of goods or services since May 1997 where penalty clauses were triggered for non-performance; and if he will make a statement. [122021]

Mr. Wicks

There are none to list as the Department for Education and Employment does not include penalty clauses in its contracts.
