In the spirit of co-operation, I ask the Minister to write to the procurement officers or to the relevant bodies and spell it out for them in straightforward language because local jobs are at stake. We are all practising politicians and the Ministers will be aware that our role is to protect jobs in our constituencies at all costs. We must get the best value for the public purse. Local small and medium enterprises are the life blood of the economy and can give the best value. However, I ask the Ministers to write again.
