The previous correction given was as follows:
Peter Luff
[holding answer 26 April 2011]: The total payments made to Palletways, Pertemps Employment Agency and private couriers (including City Sprint) since late 2007 when the regional distribution centres were closed, are provided in the following table:
Company | FY2007-08 (3 months) | FY2008-09 | FY2009-10 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Palletways | 0.547 | 1.917 | 2.134 | 4.598 |
Pertemps | 0 | 3.439 | 2.731 | 6.170 |
Private couriers | 0.880 | 2.179 | 1.440 | 3.707 |

The correct answer should have been:
