§ Mr. John EvansTo ask the Prime Minister which non-civil-service special advisers accompanied her on official visits abroad on each of the last 11 years; and what was their cost to public funds, in real terms.
§ The Prime MinisterFor years before 1987–88 the information requested is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. Since 1 April 1987, no special adviser who is not a career civil servant has accompanied me on an official visit abroad.
