§ Mr. Sandelsonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much money was spent on overseas travel by his Department during the latest year for which figures are available; and, of this sum, how much was spent on travel by air.
§ Mr. LuardExpenditure on fares for overseas travel during the current financial year is expected—on the basis of566W actual figures for the first 10 months—to be about £5.1 million, of which about £5 million will be for air travel. I regret that exact figures for earlier full years are not available, since fares were not recorded separately from subsistence and other related costs.
