Proceeding contribution from Richard Bacon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on Public Accounts.
Public Accounts
I was interested to hear what my hon. Friend said about renegotiation of contracts because one argument that is sometimes adduced—wholly falsely, in my view—is that there would be such huge penalties that it would not be possible for contracts to be renegotiated. Does he agree that since disputes with IT contractors never end up in court and since IT contractors want to work for government again in the future, there is almost always a way through that does not involve huge penalties on either side?
