HC Deb 17 June 1971 vol 819 c129W
34. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs why five British police officers were sent to Vietnam recently, paid for by the Agency for International Development; and what was the cost to the British police force in terms of lost time and salary.

Mr. Anthony Royle

None of the group of distinguished retired overseas officials which visited Vietnam is employed by Her Majesty's Government. There was, therefore, no cost to public funds.
