HC Deb 16 February 1993 vol 219 c122W
Mr. Robert Banks

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what is the amount of money paid out by the Legal Aid Board area offices at Newcastle upon Tyne and Leeds during the last financial year.

Mr. John M. Taylor

The Legal Aid Board makes all payments centrally through its accounts office in London. It is therefore only possible to make estimates of the amount attributable to each area office. Estimates for the year ending 31 March 1992 for the area offices in question are as follows:

£ million
Newcastle upon Tyne 40.7
Leeds 52.9
