§ Mr. OatenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the external consultants which have carried out work for his Department under contracts in the last three years. [181500]
§ Fiona MactaggartThe use of external consultants throughout the Home Office provides the Department with specialist knowledge, skills, capacity and technical expertise that is otherwise not available in house. This enables all units and organisations within the Department to achieve the levels of service required by the Home Office and the Government and assists in obtaining value for money.
The main external consultants which have carried out work for the Home Office under contracts in the last three years are in a list, which will be sent to the Library.
