answer text <p /> <p>We are unable to answer the first part of your question as doing so would incur disproportionate costs. To provide this information would entail identifying and contacting all individuals responsible for the operational and commercial management of contracts relating to Capita Group plc to find out how many occasions Capita Group plc has tendered for contracts let by his Department in each year since May 2010.</p><p>I will write to the honourable member in due course to answer the rest of the question.</p> more like this
