HC Deb 25 July 1966 vol 732 c204W
71. Mr. Brian Harrison

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what reductions he is planning to make in staff in High Commissions in Canberra, Ottawa and Wellington with a view to saving overseas expenditure.

Mr. Bottomley

The establishments of Diplomatic Service posts abroad are subject to regular review by visiting Inspectors. These three High Commissions have all been inspected in recent months, and a number of economies are in the process of being made.
