HC Deb 09 December 1991 vol 200 cc282-3W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish the latest available figures showing how much was spent by(a) each executive body, (b) each advisory body, (c) each health authority and (d) each tribunal on (i) legal services, (ii) accounting advice, (iii) auditing, (iv) advice on business plans, (v) market research, (vi) management advice, (vii) public relations communications advice, (viii) time and motion studies and (ix) opinion polls, respectively; and how much was spent in each case exclusively within Wales.

Mr. David Hunt

This information is not held centrally for non-departmental public bodies. The information available for health authorities is shown in the following table. This shows total spending in each category and therefore includes both the costs of in-house services and contracts placed outside each authority. It is not possible to identify separately how much was spent in Wales.
