HC Deb 05 May 1969 vol 783 c24W
74. Mr. Hooley

asked the President of the Board of Trade what public funds will be expended on the entertainment of South African delegates to the Ninth Commonwealth Mining and Metallurgical Congress to be held in London from 5th to 24th May.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

Her Majesty's Government have made a grant of £15,000 to assist generally in the organisation of this Congress which has significant importance for British exports of mining machinery and services. No grant has been made towards the entertainment of any particular group of delegates.
