HC Deb 23 March 1990 vol 169 c768W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his estimate of(a) the total cost and (b) the costs of the management and opinion surveys of the Boundary Commission's proposed report on county Humberside.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

The local government boundary commission has not yet completed its review of the county of Humberside. It is not our practice to reveal costs of individual contracts, but the combined cost of the two consultants' studies so far carried out in connection with Humberside is about £170,000.
