§ Mr. DobsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what was the total sum paid out in fees to outside organisations in the furtherance of privatisation by his Department in 1979–80 and in each subsequent year; and what is his estimate for 1990–91.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerIt is not the practice to comment on individual advisers' fees. However, my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment will report the total cost of water privatisation to Parliament, in due course, in the normal way.
