§ Mr. SteenTo ask the President of the Board of Trade how many task forces into deregulation have now been established; what has been the cost of servicing the task forces; how many reports have been published; and if they will be placed in the Library.
§ Mr. Neil HamiltonEight task forces have been established, supported by a small secretariat of civil servants and secondees from the private sector. It is not possible to calculate the costs of that support in the time available. The task forces have not yet reported.
