Sir Paul Beresford
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what estimate she has made of the cost to (a) her Department and (b) the public purse of meeting requests for private sector organisations for master address lists in the last 12 months.

Mr. Iain Wright
The Department has created no master address list of its own, so has incurred no costs itself. No estimate of costs to the wider public purse has been made.
