§ Mr. MilburnTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department which firms of consultants employed by his Department over the last year have been paid more than £1,000 per day. [33882]
§ Mr. HowardA number of consultancy contracts would include some rates at more than £1,000 per day, but typically the average rates charged would be less than £1,000. An exhaustive list of all commissions where the daily rate might exceed £1,000 per day could be produced only at disproportionate cost.
§ Mr. MilburnTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much his Department and its agencies have spent on computer consultancy in each of the last five years; and what is the expected expenditure over the next five years. [33852]
§ Mr. HowardMy Department has spent in each of the last five years the following amounts:
- 1990–91: £4,820,000
- 1991–92: £6,000,000
- 1992–93: £4,210,000
- 1993–94: £3,500,000
- 1994–95: £2,730,000
Expenditure in future years will depend on need and affordability within overall financial provision, but is likely to be of the order of £4 million to £5 million per year.
