HC Deb 06 November 1992 vol 213 c528W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list all of the reports his Department has commissioned from external consultants in each of the past three years; for each of the past three years, how many reports from external consultants to his department led to further consultancy work being commissioned, stating for each of these who were the original and subsequent consultants and briefly describing the subject matter of the consultancy work; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Information on reports produced by external consultants working in the Home Office during the past three years could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.
