§ Sir John Biggs-DavisonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if following the end of control of Spandau prison by the Allies of the Second World War, he will give the total cost to the United Kingdom taxpayers of the detention there of the late Rudolph Hess.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThe costs of Hess's detention were not a charge to the United Kingdom taxpayer. All the costs of the three Western powers (UK, US, France) were borne by the German authorities.
