question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Williams of Trafford on 12 April (HL6775) stating that "all opportunities to supply passports or their components for EU governments must comply with the EU Procurement Directives", whether (1) France, (2) Germany, (3) Italy, and (4) Spain, are exempt from those directives.
tabling member printed	Lord Naseby
uin	HL7525
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2018 answer text <p>All EU member states are bound by EU Procurement Directives, and companies within the member states would have the opportunity to bid for the work as and when the government puts it out to tender.</p><p>If the service is available from a state owned company, then an exemption to running a tender with private companies applies. There is no state owned UK passport company, and therefore this exemption does not apply. It is not for the UK Government to comment on whether France, Germany, Italy or Spain has opted to apply for such an exemption.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 14/05/2018 16:03:40 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, in relation to the new passport contract, when the original statement of the £120 million saving was made; and whether that figure included the anticipated adverse impact arising from the loss of UK taxes and increased costs from probable unemployment.

This will deliver significant savings to passport customers and the UK tax payer when compared to the £400 million contract that was awarded in 2009.</p><p>The incumbent will continue to provide these passport services for at least another 18 months, and have publicly stated that they will bid for other work to help protect jobs after the current passport contract ends.
