§ Dr. MarekTo ask the Minister for the Civil Service what moneys have been spent by the Government on management consultants since the inauguration of the "next steps" programme.
§ Mr. LuceThe information requested by the hon. Member is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. Total expenditure on management consultants by my own Department for work relating to the "next steps" programme since its launch in February 1988 up to 30 June 1990 was £90,100.
