HC Deb 25 February 1997 vol 291 c169W
Mr. Donohoe

To ask the President of the Board of Trade how much his Department estimates it cost to establish each executive agency set up by his Department since the start of April 1992. [16962]

Mr. Lang

No executive agencies have been established by my Department since 1992. The Employment Tribunals Service will be launched as an agency in 1997–98. The costs of establishing the ETS are not separately identifiable, and for the most part will be met from within existing budgets for financial and strategic planning in this area.
