HC Deb 02 June 1965 vol 713 c219W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what was the total additional expense incurred to public funds as a result of the official visit of the Duke of Edinburgh to the Royal Air Force station at Bicester and the Bicester Royal Ordnance Depot on 10th May.

Mr. Millan

I assume that my hon. Friend is referring to the official visit to these establishments by The Queen, when she was accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh.

The additional cost to Army and Air Votes, including air movement of the Royal Party and of other distinguished guests, was about £1,800.
