HC Deb 18 July 1979 vol 970 cc753-4W
58. Mr. David Watkins

asked the Minister of Transport what measures he is taking to reduce expenditure on British membership of the Control Commission for the Navigation of the River Rhine.

Mr. Fowler

Certain activities of the Central Rhine Commission require contributions additional to our membership subscription but we have opted out of these. Spending on official travel has also been cut as far as possible.
