Departments: Legal Costs

Grant Shapps: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much was spent by his Department on legal fees in each of the last five years. [139391]

Mr. Hain: The Northern Ireland Office (NIO), excluding its agencies and NDPBs, has spent the following on legal fees in each of the last five years:

	Legal fees (£)
2002-03	5,494,196
2003-04	5,563,934
2004-05	6,977,043
2005-06	7,295,364
2006-07	10,821,790

Legal fees for the NIO have risen substantially in 2006-07, mainly due to expenditure by the Public Prosecution Service on the Omagh bomb trial, and also on the trial of James Fulton and his associates, which proved to be the longest murder trial in NI history. These two cases alone have accounted for an increase in legal expenditure of £2 million. Scale fees for counsel also increased in April 2006, the first increase in a number of years, and this also contributed to overall increase in 2006-07.

Departments: Property

Grant Shapps: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much was raised from the sale of departmental property in each of the last five years. [139310]

Mr. Hain: The following table provides information on the proceeds received from the sale of Northern Ireland Office (NIO) property in each of the last five years.
