C-c C-x C-d (org-clock-display) will show the task times as overlays on
the headings. If you want something exportable, you can use C-c C-x C-r
(org-clock-report) - see the info page for "The clock table" for lots of
options. If you want the number of minutes in Emacs Lisp, use
(org-clock-sum-current-item) for the current item or (org-clock-sum) to
add totals to all, then go to the heading and get the :org-clock-minutes
property.

Hope that helps!
