Baroness Twycross (Lab)
I can only agree with my noble friend.
Lord Wallace of Saltaire (LD)
My Lords, does the Minister recall that, when the Procurement Act was first presented—it started in the Lords—it was one of the most badly drafted Bills I have ever seen, and that the Government themselves produced 350 amendments between Second Reading and Committee? Do the Government intend to look again at the rules covering outsourcing, particularly to companies which have in the past made excessive profits from government contracts?
Baroness Twycross (Lab)
I will look into that matter and write to the noble Lord on that point.
