To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the value is of the contracts his Department holds with (a) Capita plc and (b) its subsidiaries which still have a potential duration of five years or more. (83039)

A complete answer to this question could be supplied only at disproportionate cost. I can tell you, however, that the Department holds the following Capita contracts with a potential duration of 5 or more years:

Teachers’ Pensions Administration from 2003 to 2010 value estimated £60.5 million.

National Strategies from 2005 to 2010 value estimated £180 million.

Connexions Card, which was included in the answer to your question on a similar subject on 12 June 2006, will be terminated in August 2006 and will not now have a potential duration of 5 or more years.
