HC Deb 17 May 1976 vol 911 c369W
35. Sir John Hall

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what estimate was made, before circulation, of the cost to industry of completing the 24-page questionnaire entitled "Inquiry into Wholesaling and Dealing for 1974".

Mr. Meacher

Such an estimate could not be made without disproportionate effort. The overall cost to industry of completing the questionnaires depends largely on how readily individual businesses have the information available.
