Question
to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the proposed ban on contractors applying for government contracts if they have committed certain specified offences applies to offences committed in other legal jurisdictions.

The Regulations specify that this includes “any other offence within the meaning of Article 45(1) of the Public Sector Directive as defined by the national law of any relevant State”.
