National Debt Commissioners

HC Deb 17 March 1980 vol 981 c31W

Mr. Cockeram

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the cost of administration of the National Debt Commissioners and their staff.

Mr. Lawson

The functions of the National Debt Commissioners, who receive no fees, are exercised by the National Debt Office. The cost of staffing and operating this office for the year ending 31 April 1980 is estimated to be £289,000, the whole of which is expected to be recovered from statutory charges.
