§ Mr. David Priceasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the total number of different forms which his Department, and its subordinate agencies, 497W currently have available for different purposes requiring completion by members of the general public; and how that number compares with the answer to the hon. Member for Eastleigh on 8th March 1976.
§ Mr. MasonThe number of forms for completion, when applicable, by members of the general public, in use in the Northern Ireland Office, including its dependent services with responsibilities for law and order but excluding Northern Ireland Departments, has increased by one since March 1976. However, recent research has shown that the number in 1976 should have been given as 123; it is now 124. I regret this error.
