To ask Her Majesty's Government further to the Written Answer by Baroness Royall of Blaisdon on 23 February (WA 9), what are the individual measures referred to which have been agreed with the Bloody Sunday inquiry to minimise the remaining costs; and how much each of the individual measures is expected to save.

The Northern Ireland Office has worked intensively with the inquiry to develop a package of measures to minimise remaining costs, reducing expected final cost to £190 million. Work to identify cost-saving measures will continue for the duration of the inquiry. However, key measures already identified and agreed include:

closure of the inquiry's office in Northern Ireland, which will deliver average savings on rent, security, service charges and rates in the region of £13,000 per month for the remainder of the inquiry's life span; renegotiation of the rent for the inquiry's office in London, which should result in average savings in the region of £34,000 per month for the remainder of the inquiry's life span; and reduction and renegotiation of IT services for the remainder of the inquiry, which should result in average savings in the region of £31,000 per month for the remainder of the inquiry's life span.
