Answer: Matthew Taylor: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer on what basis the LIBRA project was described as completed in his Department's evidence to the Treasury Committee in January 2000; and if he will make a statement. [59690] Mr. Boateng: The Lord Chancellor's Department's project LIBRA was a Treasury Taskforce Significant Project. The LIBRA contract was signed in December 1998. Annexe B of the Treasury's memorandum dated 1 November 1999 to the Treasury Committee, showed progress on Treasury Taskforce Significant Projects. Those projects where the contract had been signed, and thus the Treasury taskforce's involvement had been successfully completed, were noted as being "completed".
