Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what grant is being made by his Department to the World Hunting Exhibition at Budapest, 1971; and why it is being provided.

Mr. Michael Cocks

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether money is being made available from public funds for the World Hunting Exhibition, 1971, in Budapest.

Mr. Godber

Her Majesty's Government are contributing up to £7,000 towards the costs of the British Wild Life Organising Committee which is preparing a British exhibit at the World Hunting Exhibition. This contribution is being made in view of the international importance of the exhibition and in the interests of our relations with Hungary.
