HC Deb 08 April 1948 vol 449 c28W
Mr. Prescott

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the cost to the taxpayer of the recent tour of Africa made by the Paymaster-General and his staff.

Sir S. Cripps

The cost is now estimated at £4,000 rather less than the figure given by my right hon. Friend the Financial Secretary to the hon. Member for Orpington (Sir W. Smithers) on 17th February last.
