asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will give the actual or estimated costs to the latest and most convenient date since their inception and the costs in total of the establishment and running of the Equal Opportunities Commission, the Office of Fair Trading and the National Consumers Council; and what would be the actual or estimated savings to the Treasury on an annual basis if these were abolished.

Mr. Lawson

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
