Budd Inquiry

Mrs. May
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the cost was of the 2004 Budd inquiry.

Mr. Byrne
A total figure for the cost of the 2004 Budd inquiry was not recorded.

The Home Office provided Sir Alan Budd with secretarial support, an official at higher executive officer level and any material that he requested.

Sir Alan was not remunerated for his investigation but the Home Office did reimburse him for expenses related to the conduct of it.

The final report was printed and published by the Stationery Office under the authority of the House of Commons. The Home Office paid for the printing of the report and copies.
