To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (1) whether her Department plans to continue the revenue funding of FireBuy's strategic procurement role; and if she will make a statement; (242388)

(2) if she will review the governance arrangement in FireBuy as part of her response to the outcomes of the consultation on the National Procurement Strategy; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Khan

Views on the future funding, governance and delivery of the national procurement function, currently provided by Firebuy Ltd., were sought as part of the consultation on the National Procurement Strategy for the Fire and Rescue Service 2008-11. Responses to the consultation are currently being considered and we hope to make an announcement by the end of January.
