HC Deb 24 February 1997 vol 291 cc56-7W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much has been spent in Britain in each year since 1992 by (a)the European information office and (b)the European Commission office in London on promotion of the European ideal. [17052]

Mr. David Davis

There is no European information office in the UK. Expenditure by the European Commission's representation in the UK is intended to explain the meaning and purpose of policies decided by the EU Council of Ministers, for instance the single market.
