Ceist:

238 Mr. S. Ryan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he will give details of the overall expenditure on consultancy by his Department in each of the years 1985, 1990 and 1995, or the most recent year for which completed figures are available; and if he will provide an analysis of these figures as a proportion of overall staffing and administration costs for each of these years. [19726/96]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 237 and 238 together.

Expenditure on consultancies was not compiled for 1985. There was no expenditure in 1990.
The position for 1995 is:

1. Expenditure on Consultancies

£0.677m

2. Administrative Budget Expenditure

£112,931m

1 as percentage of 2

0.6%
