HC Deb 25 January 1968 vol 757 cc179-80W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what total expenditure was incurred by members of his departmental staff or personnel sponsored by his Department in respect of overseas travel in each of the years 1965 to 1967.

Mr. Prentice

Expenditure on overseas travel amounted to £115,961 in the financial year 1965–66, and £117,066 in 1966–67 by the headquarters, departments and the two overseas Development Divisions of my Ministry.

The cost of travel on technical assistance projects and assignments including that by expert staff in the specialised units such as the Tropical Products Institute, is not readily available.
