HC Deb 08 April 1987 vol 114 cc219-20W
40. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Solicitor-General for Scotland what is the amount of the additional costs falling on the Crown Office to date of inquiries in relation to the Zircon affair.

The Solicitor-General for Scotland

Almost all the additional costs falling on the Crown Office to date of the inquiries in question have been those caused by parliamentary interest in the matter. It is not, however, possible to quantify the costs involved.
