HC Deb 16 June 2003 vol 407 c84W
Mr. Dodds

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what the total costs associated with the recent visit of President Bush to Hillsborough, County Down were. [113450]

Mr. Paul Murphy

The costs associated with President Bush's visit to Northern Ireland, which included visits by the Prime Minister and the Taoiseach, were borne by a number of agencies and met from within their existing operating budgets. Information on the costs relating to this visit is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
