Tristram Hunt – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tristram Hunt on 2016-04-15.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much her Department spent on (a) consultancy fees, (b) legal advice, (c) civil service staffing costs and (d) all other expenditure relating to the Education and Adoption Act 2016.

Nick Gibb

Officials from across the Department were involved in different ways and at different times on work for the Education and Adoption Act. It is therefore not possible to distinguish costs from the wider business of the Department. There was no external legal or consultancy expenditure.
