Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Lord True on 10 January (HL5119) and 18 January (HL5234, HL5235, HL5236 and HL5360), whether they will now answer the questions fully by (1) listing in the text of their answer the contracts they have entered into with Bain & Company since June 2010 and the lead department for each contract, and (2) setting out what assessment they have made, if any, of the report of the South African Judicial Commission of Inquiry into State Capture: Part 1, published on 5 January.

Cabinet Office does not hold a central record of contracts awarded by departments.

Details of Government contracts above £10,000 are published on Contracts Finder (https://www.gov.uk/contracts-finder). Accounting records are required to be kept for six years.

Cabinet Office is considering the report of the South African Judicial Commission of Inquiry into State Capture: Part 1.
