asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the total number of different forms which his Department, and its subordinate agencies, currently have available for different purposes requiring completion by members of the general public; and if he has been able to acquire this information without incurring disproportionate cost since the answer given to the hon. Member for Eastleigh on 8th March 1976.
