Mr. Faulds
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much it costs to hold a coroner's inquest on treasure trove and to administer the law on treasure trove.
Dr. Summerskill
No figures of the costs of such inquests are kept centrally but I estimate that the average cost may be about £100. Figures for the total cost of administering this part of the law are not available.
