HC Deb 21 March 1997 vol 292 cc964-7W
Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if she will list the non-elected bodies responsible to his Department which are responsible for providing advice or services in London, indicating in each case the (i) overall budget and (ii) estimated running costs for each year from 1996–97 to 1999–2000. [21386]

Mr. Sproat

The table lists the non-elected bodies which provide advice or services in London. It is not, however, possible to identify the proportion of total budgets and running costs related to advice or services specifically for London. The budget and running costs are therefore the estimated and planned totals for each body.
