Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Peter Luff and David Tredinnick

Monday 5th July 2010 Commons Chamber

[David Tredinnick (Bosworth) (Con)]

Is my right hon. Friend aware of the anger in my constituency because the reverse bidding for the contract for the supply of socks did not work effectively? Does he understand that HJ Hall, which has supplied socks for three generations, lost the contract because it could not make its bids within the existing system, and will he please look into the issue?

[Peter Luff]

I congratulate my hon. Friend on his vigorous defence of his constituents. I agree that the matter is important, and I should like to discuss it with him further.
