Mr. Warren

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will estimate the cost of answering all the parliamentary questions tabled for answer by him on Thursday 25 October.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

One hundred and forty-six parliamentary questions tabled for my answer were answered today, including 127 tabled by the hon. Member for Newham, North-West (Mr. Banks). I estimate the cost of answering these 146 questions to be of the order of £2,700.
