Fire and Rescue Services Bill

Mr Philip Hammond (Runnymede and Weybridge, Conservative)
The Minister is shaking his head again, as he did when I said that on Second Reading. However, the next day I received a letter from O2, one of the bidders, confirming that they will put forward Tetra technology, and I was sent a brochure explaining why I should not be concerned about the use of such technology. I assume that the Minister is not short-circuiting a public procurement exercise by ruling out one of the bids.
