To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the cost of preparation of his answer to the hon. Member for Chelmsford (Mr. Burns) of 22 July 1993,Official Report, columns 296–301.

Mr. Nelson

Preparation of the answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Chelmsford re the report of the Director General of Fair Trading on the marketing and sale of investment-linked insurance products, made under section 122(4) and (5) of the Financial Services Act 1986, was an integral part of the evaluation carried out by officials. It is not possible to isolate the specific costs of its preparation.
