Northern Ireland

Volume 496: debated on Wednesday 9 September 2009

Departmental Public Consultation

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what consultations have been carried out by his Department since July 2007; and at what cost.

[Official Report, 20 July 2009, Vol. 496, c. 784W.]

Letter of correction from Shaun Woodward:

An error has been identified in the answer given to the hon. Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr. Hammond) on 20 July 2009. It has come to my attention that two further consultations (both with a nil cost) were not included in the original table.

The correct answer should have been: (279345)
