It is not possible to estimate precisely the cost of increased access to the form since this would 381W clearly depend on the extent of any increase, the method chosen and in particular, on whether or not the extension also established a service for the supply of the documents listed on the form similar to that provided for Members by the Vote Office. I am writing in detail as I promised to my hon. Friend on this and relevant issues.
