HC Deb 01 July 2002 vol 388 c78W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much and what proportion of the departmental expenditure limit for 2002–03 will be accounted for by staff costs; what the figures were for 2001–02; and if he will make a statement. [61034]

Mr. Paul Murphy

Running cost information for years up to 2001–02 is given at Annex 3 of the departmental report (Cm 5431). It is too early to provide a dependable forecast for 2002–03.
