§ Mr. AllenTo ask the hon. Member for Roxburgh and Berwickshire, representing the House of Commons Commission what additional costs were incurred as a result of the House sitting after 10.30 pm on 16 June 2003. [120448]
§ Sir Archy KirkwoodThe main additional cost is overtime for some support staff. The information about overtime worked on 16 June 2003 is not currently available, but I expect it to be minimal compared to the daily cost of running the House.
