Miss McIntosh

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister, what proportion of work commissioned by Government Departments has been undertaken by(a) Arthur Andersen, (b) Ernst & Young, (c) PricewaterhouseCoopers in each year since 1978. [32808]

Mr. Leslie

Pursuant to my reply of 14 February, columns 562–64, I regret that the information provided was incorrect. The table should have read:

the culmination of the existing contracts and (b) won new contracts after a period of inactivity with his Department in each of the past five years. [38763]

Mr. Leslie

The specific information requested is not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. However for information on the top 10 largest suppliers to the Cabinet Office for the years since 1997, I refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave earlier today (PQ 38764).
