§ Mr. Joplingasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what was the total cost of the Countryside Commission's stand at the Royal Show, together with specific charges for the site, the erection of the stand, the costs of staffing, and the material on show; how many people staffed the stand; how many man-hours were put in; whether the photographs on show were specially commissioned for the show; and what shows the Commission plan to attend in 1969.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonThe Countryside Commission's participation at the Royal198W Show was one of at least five sitings in 1969 of an existing mobile display on the Commission's activities. It originally cost £3,200 and will be re-used and adapted over the next few years. The cost of installing the display at the Royal Show, including site hire of £100, and providing a tent, electricity supplies and a film was £632. No special photographs were taken for the Royal Show. The stand was manned by two members of the Commission's staff who each worked some 48 hours at the Royal Show. The display was exhibited at the Forestry Exhibition, Edinburgh, in June and will be shown at the Great Yorkshire Show, Harrogate, and East of England Show, Peterborough in July, and at the Royal National Eisteddfod, Flint in August. A section of the display was used at the exhibition to commemorate the opening of the Cleveland Way at Helmsley in May; sections will also be displayed at the Commission's Annual Conference at Aviemore in September.
