HC Deb 01 May 1986 vol 96 c475W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will publish the total costs to date of the survey of the ethnic origin of civil servants.

Mr. Luce

I have been asked to reply.

The information on the costs of these surveys is not kept centrally but when the programme of surveys, announced on 28 January 1985 was being considered by the Government it was estimated that the total cost would be in the region of £375,000.
