Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the cost to the public purse is of legal advice provided to the Rt hon. Member for Uxbridge for the investigation into his conduct by the Committee of Privileges.

I refer the Hon Member to PQ 173102 and 111722. As set out in my previous answers, the Government has previously committed to setting out the final costs of the total legal support in relation to the Privileges Committee in due course after the conclusion of this matter.
