§ Mr. DorrellThe Department of National Heritage was created in April 1992. It has two agencies—the Royal Parks Agency (RPA) created in April 1993 and the Historic Royal Palaces Agency (HRPA) created in October 1989. The information requested is shown in the following tables:
(a) and (b) Table 1—Overtime Total hours of overtime worked Total amounts paid in overtime (£) DNH central department 1992–931 Figures not available Figures not available 1993–94 Figures not available 157,661.61 1994–952 Figures not available 133,420.94 RPA 1992–93 Not applicable Not applicable 1993–94 23,197 289,570.13 1994–952 16,877 213,354.78 HRPA3 1992–93 Figures not available 584,000.00 1993–94 Figures not available 650,000.00 1994–952 Figures not available 723,000.00 Notes:
1 DNH did not have its own financial and management accounting arrangements in place until August 1992; for the year 1992–93, the information is therefore not available in the format requested.
2 The 1994–95 figures (for year ending 31 March 1995) may change slightly as year-end accounts are finalised.
3 The HRPA figures cover both overtime and premium pay (for excess hours worked at weekends and on Public and Bank holidays. It is not possible to disaggregate the two.
