§ Mr. George
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how much has been spent by his Department in each of the past five years on the evaluation of departmental 455W programmes; and what proportion this constitutes of (a) the amount allocated for evaluation and (b) the Department's total budget.

Evaluation is an integral part of the process of managing programmes. It is therefore not possible to identify separately the resources involved.
