HC Deb 25 February 1997 vol 291 cc184-5W
Mr. Donohoe

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much his Department estimates it cost to establish each executive agency set up by his Department since the start of April 1992. [16968]

Sir John Wheeler

The information requested is not available as the establishment of next steps agencies follows from an administrative process involving wide consideration of various aspects of proposals for agencification. There is therefore no unique cost attributable to agencification.
