§ Mr. GeorgeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how much has been spent by his Department in each of the past five years on the evaluation of departmental programmes; and what proportion this constitutes of(a) the amount allocated for evaluation and (b) the Department's total budget.
§ Mr. Ridley[holding answer 28 July 1988]: The process of evaluation of my Department's programmes is part of the work itself. It is therefore not possible to identify separately the resources involved.
