§ Mr. William PowellTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what extra costs were incurred by his Department as a result of the Standing Committee considering the Finance Bill sitting after the House adjourned on 16 June, 23 June and 30 June.
§ Mr. DorrellIt is not possible to give a precise figure for the extra costs involved to Her Majesty's Treasury as a result of the Finance Bill Standing Committee sitting after the House adjourned on 16, 23 and 30 June. However, the total overtime and allowances entitlement for staffing costs would be in the region of £1,000 if they were claimed.
