HC Deb 16 December 1966 vol 738 c161W
Mr. Alan Lee Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make a statement on the effects of recent economies on the informatoin and cultural services; and whether he is satisfied with present arrangements.

Mrs. White

Economies now being made or contemplated are no more severe than are necessary to ensure that next year's overall expenditure can be broadly contained within the same level of expenditure as that for the current year. Certain activities which are not of first priority will be restricted and some capital projects held back.
