HC Deb 12 March 1990 vol 169 c83W
Mr. Dobson

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the total sum paid out in fees to outside organisations in the furtherance of privatisation by his Department in 1979–80 and in each subsequent year; and what is his estimate for 1990–91.

Mr. Curry

The Department has not paid any sums to outside organisations for this purpose in the period 1979–80 to date. We keep continually under review the contribution that the Department might make to the Government privatisation policy.
