§ Mr. D. E. Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether his Department incurred any expenditure in relation to the Sizewell "B" public inquiry; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ButlerMy Department was not involved in the Sizewell "B" public inquiry but in their normal course of duty some Ministry of Defence staff spent a very small proportion of their time watching out for any MOD interest in the proceedings. I am afraid that it is not possible to quantify the expenditure this entailed.
