HC Deb 21 December 1976 vol 923 cc110-1W
Mr. Newton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will publish an estimate of the cost in the current financial year, in salaries and expenses, of the personnel engaged in examining applications for 714 certificates, in issuing them, and in hearing appeals against refusal.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

About £500,000 for the examination of applications and the issue of certificates. I regret that the cost of attending appeals could not be obtained without disproportionate effort and expense.

Forward to
