HC Deb 03 May 1990 vol 171 cc625-6W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to what extent the proposed clear-up of abandoned Antarctic bases will be funded from the sale of British Antarctica stamps; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sainsbury

There are no plans to finance the clean-up of abandoned British bases in the Antarctic from the sale of British Antarctic Territory stamps. I refer the hon. Member to a reply given by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Education and Science on 18 April 1990.
