Ministers (Lunches, Dinners and Receptions)

HC Deb 24 May 1965 vol 713 cc16-7W

Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works why he will not list in the OFFICIAL REPORT the lunches, dinners and receptions which have been held by Ministers at public expense since 16th October, 1964, to the nearest convenient date, together with the Minister acting as host, the date, the cost, the number attending, the purpose of the entertainment, and the number of overseas buyers present.

Mr. C. Pannell

The amount of effort necessary to answer the question in detail and with accuracy would not be justified.
