HC Deb 23 October 1967 vol 751 c390W
Mr. Peel

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer by how much the cost of living has risen in France for British Parliamentary Delegates to the Assemblies of the Council of Europe and Western European Union since the present subsistence allowances were fixed.

Mr. Harold Lever

The present subsistence allowances for France were fixed with effect from 1st August, 1964, and are now under review. The United Nations monthly Bulletin of Statistics indicates that the rise in the cost of living since 1964 is about 8 per cent.
