Mr. Mudie

The services and levels of remuneration provided to my department by KPMG are given in the following table.

Period Service Remuneration (£)
1 May 1997–31 January 1999 Management Consultancy 22,291
Policy advice 47,880
1 April 1996–30 April 1997 Management Consultancy 265,864

Complete figures for the 'corresponding period' 1 August 1995–30 April 1997, are not available in a comparable form. This is due to the different accounting systems used by the former Department of Education and the Employment Department which merged under the previous administration
