HC Deb 02 March 1998 vol 307 cc490-1W
Mr. Todd

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what assessment he has made of the costs and processes involved of the delivery of services by(a) his Department and (b) bodies delivering similar services in other EU states. [25931]

Mr. Morley

Details of the running costs of the Department, including services to farmers, are set out in the Departmental Report, a copy of which is placed in the Library of the House. An assessment of the costs of services provided to farmers in other Member States could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
