HC Deb 11 May 2001 vol 368 c461W
Mr. Stephen O'Brien

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what the total gross cost to his Department was in the last 12 months of alcoholic drinks. [149146]

Mr. Nick Brown

The Department's financial records do not include a separate heading for alcoholic drinks. The information requested could, therefore, be provided only at disproportionate cost.
