HC Deb 16 February 1984 vol 54 c278W
Dr. Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the total cost to his Department of the rate support grant negotiations for each year since 1978–79.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

It would involve disproportionate cost to identify these costs separately from the full cost of running the relevant parts of my Department, but they are likely to form only a small part of the full costs.
