AP Braking

Mr. Graham Stuart
To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport pursuant to the answer of 7 December 2009, Official Report, column 31W, on the Caparo Group, what the monetary value is of the contract his Department holds with AP Braking Ltd.

Chris Mole
The answer I gave to the hon. Member on 7 December 2009, Official Report, column 31W, about whether the Department for Transport holds contracts with each company of the Caparo Group was incorrect.

The Vehicle Certification Agency previously carried out approval work through a third party on AP Braking's products. However, there was no contract between the Department for Transport and AP Braking.
