Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what was the total of professional and nonprofessional staff of the railway inspectorate in 1978–79 and in each year since.

Mr. David Mitchell

I refer the hon. Member to the answer on 3 December.

Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what was the total cost in 1978–79 prices of the railway inspectorate in 1978–79 and each year since.

Mr. David Mitchell

I regret that reliable figures for the total cost of the railway inspectorate are unavailable for the years before 1984–85.

Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many of the railway inspectorate staff are deployed full-time on work on the London Underground.

Mr. David Mitchell

None, since the inspectorate is not organised in that fashion.
