Letter from Peter Viggers:

An error has been identified in the written answer given to the hon. Member for Chichester (Mr. Tyrie) on 26 February 2008. The correct answer should have been:

Peter Viggers: The Speaker’s Committee considered the Commission’s budget for the four years 2007-08 to 2010-11 when it met in March 2007 and approved a cash flat resource budget of £23,995,000 (including the £2 million annual Policy Development Grant budget) in each of the four years, subject to reconsideration only in the event that Parliament places new responsibilities upon the Commission during this period.

I have written to the hon. Member to advise him of this error and of the correction.
