Question:39 Miss Coughlan asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications if he will give details of the increase in consultancy fees proposed for his Department in the 1996 Estimates.[3811/95]
Written Answers - Consultancy Fees' Increase.
There is no increase in the consultancy fees proposed for my Department in 1995. The estimate for 1994 was £3.65 million and the estimate for 1995 is £2.592 million. There is an increase, however, in the 1995 Estimate over the provisional 1994 outturn of £746,000. This is due to a number of anticipated consultancies not going ahead in 1994.
