§ Norman LambTo ask the Solicitor-General if she will make a statement on the Department's procurement policy with regard to offshore IT and call centre outsourcing; whether the Department is outsourcing IT and call centre jobs to offshore companies; to which countries the Department has outsourced these jobs; how much the Department has spent on this outsourcing in each of the last two years; and how much has been budgeted for this purpose for the next two years. [147576]
§ The Solicitor-GeneralNone of the Departments for which the Attorney General holds Ministerial responsibility currently outsource either call centre or IT services to offshore companies and have no current plans to do so. Consequently, the Departments have set no budget for this purpose over the next two years.
