HC Deb 12 March 2003 vol 401 c251W
Mr. Laws

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will estimate the central departmental administration costs of his Department in each year from 1990–91 to 2005–06 (planned); and if he will make a statement. [101519]

Mr. Jamieson

Information on central administration costs between 1990–91 and 2003–04 is set out in the relevant running/administration costs tables of the annual departmental reports for the Department of Transport, the Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions, and the Department of Transport, Local Government and the Regions, although not on a comparable basis across the entire period. Updated information for the Department for Transport, with plans to 2005–06, will be published in the 2003 departmental report in the spring.
