§ Mr. Robin CookTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth affairs what was the total cost of salaries since 1992 paid to persons in his Department employed on a part-time or full-time basis in any capacity relating to the Scott inquiry. [14536]
§ Mr. HanleyThe direct salary cost of officials within this Department wholly employed on matters relating to the Scott inquiry since 1992 is approximately £241,500. Other officials were inevitably involved from time to time; their direct salary costs are unquantifiable.
