HC Deb 21 May 1976 vol 911 cc753-4W
Mr. Aitken

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will appoint a senior official from his Department to the British Trade Mission in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Mr. Ennals:

There is no intention at present to appoint an official from my Department to the Economic Co-operation Office in Riyadh but I will keep the matter under review. My Department is represented on and closely involved in the work of the Anglo-Saudi Arabian Joint Commission and will provide any specialised assistance required.
