Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what has been the total cost of running the Deputy Receiver of Wrecks and Wreck Agent, including all main constituent costs of any sort, such as expenditure on his own programmes, wages, rent, heating and lighting and maintenance, in the latest 12 months for which figures are available; and what are the projected costs for 1978–79.

Mr. Clinton Davis

The cost, consisting entirely of retainers, amounted to £627.50 in 1977–78 and is expected to be much the same in 1978–79.
