Vol. 354 No. 7

Written Answers. - Assignment of Work to Private Consultants.

711.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will consider giving more work to private consultants in areas where they are undue delays due to heavy workload at present being experienced by the Board of Works, particularly in the areas of new schools and school renovations.

The extent to which work is assigned to private consultants by the Office of Public Works at any time is determined by the volume of such works on hands, the numbers of staff available to deal with it and the funds available to finance the work. The situation is kept constantly under review and additional work is allocated to private consultants from time to time as circumstances warrant.
