Mr. Philip Holland
asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is the cost to his Department of providing secretariat and executive support services for each non-departmental public body to which he appoints members other than civil servants.
Mr. David Howell
Secretariat and support services are provided to five non-departmental public bodies to which I appoint members other than civil servants. The cost to the Department at 1979–80 prices is about £56,000 per annum.
