HC Deb 01 March 1991 vol 186 c647W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what extra-statutory public expenditure has been undertaken with the knowledge of Her Majesty's Treasury in the last six months.

Mr. Mellor

We do not keep central records. Any transactions of this kind, which are subject to the rules of Government accounting on special payments, will be noted in the relevant accounts if they amount to more than £100,000.
