HC Deb 20 May 1982 vol 24 c165W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will give the total number of reports commissioned by his Department in each of the last five years.

Mr. Butcher

[pursuant to his reply, 18 May 1982, c. 98]: I regret that collection of data would involve disproportionate cost. I will, however, do my best to assist if my hon. Friend will let me know more precisely the kind of reports he has in mind.
