Mr. Frank Field: To ask the hon. Member for North Devon, representing the House of Commons Commission pursuant to the answer of 22 February 2010, Official Report, column 38W, on Members: allowances, how much has been spent under each budgetary heading referred to in the answer. [319926] [Official Report, 8 March 2010, Vol. 507, c. 3-4W.] Letter of correction from Mr. Nick Harvey: An error has been identified in the answer given to the right hon. Member for Birkenhead (Mr. Field) on 8 March 2010. The original answer did not include bills 11 Mar 2010 : Column 12MC received after the date for answer but before the answer was sent. It did not therefore fully reflect "the costs to date". The correct answer should have been: Nick Harvey: The costs to date, inclusive of VAT, are as follows: £ Sir Thomas Legg's review Work commissioned 870,784 Staff costs 306,534 Office supplies 5,889 1,183,207 Sir Paul Kennedy's work Work commissioned 21,456 Travel 767 Office Supplies 180 22,403
