HC Deb 05 December 1984 vol 69 c192W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what proportion of the administrative expenses of his Department he estimates to be directly or indirectly attributable to duties which must be carried out by his Department as a result of membership of the European Economic Community.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The proportion is not known and cannot be estimated without disproportionate cost.
