HC Deb 09 April 2003 vol 403 c285W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what the estimated level of saving is to the Department from the use of market testing in 2002–03. [107764]

Peter Hain

No market testing was conducted in this year. Some support services are already provided to the Wales Office by the private sector and thus subject to regular competitive tendering; the Department is not responsible for any significant programme expenditure.
