HC Deb 24 November 1966 vol 736 c1565
6. Mr. Maddan

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what was the total cost to public funds of the celebration organised by his Department in connection with the twentieth anniversary of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.

Mr. Oram

About £3,400, Sir.

Mr. Maddan

Would the hon. Gentleman explain how that squares with the reports that emanated from his Department, carried in the Sunday Mirror, stating that the sum involved was much more than that amount?

Mr. Oram

I have no responsibility for inaccuracies in the Press.
