I propose to take Questions Nos. 706 and 707 together.

The Statutory Bodies, including establishment dates, for which I have responsibility, are detailed in the following table.

The annual operating cost for each of the past five years of each statutory body can be found in the annual reports and accounts published by each of these bodies, which should be available through the library of the Houses.
