§ Mr. Skeetasked the right hon. Member for Middlesbrough, as representing the House of Commons Commission, what are the running costs of the House together with associated facilities, per hour on an average working day.
§ Mr. Arthur BottomleyI regret that the work involved in extracting the information necessary to give a comprehensive answer, particularly that involving Votes for which the Commission is not responsible, means that the hon. Member's question cannot be answered without incurring disproportionate costs.
