asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether be is yet in a position to state what will be the extra cost to the Government of the recent decision in Sutton v. Rex?

I am not yet in a position to add anything to the answer given on this subject on the 21st March last in reply to a question from the hon. Member for Central Edinburgh?

When will the hon. and gallant Gentleman be in a position to answer, in view of the very disquieting reports as to the amount, which totals £22,000,000?

I am unable to give an answer until the matter has been adequately considered.

When wilt that be?

I am afraid that I cannot say.
