§ Mr. Dorrell[holding answer 6 February 1995]The Department of National Heritage was created in April 1992 when certain areas of responsibility from six other Departments were transferred.

The figures for 1992–93 do not reflect full DNH expenditure cost since some part-year central service costs from former Departments were met by those Departments.
Figures for 1992–93 and 1993–94 include some one-off cost that relate to the setting up of the Department.
Figures for 1994–95 represent the current level of provision before adjustments for the spring supplementary. Figures for actual outturn will not be available until the end of the financial year.
