69. Mr. David Watkins

asked the Sec retary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what are the numbers of staff employed in the United Kingdom's Washington, Paris and Moscow embassies, respectively; and if he is satisfied that they are adequately and economically deployed to enable Her Majesty's representatives in those embassies to represent the policies of the Government.

Mr. Anthony Royle

I would refer the hon. Member to the figures I gave in my reply to the hon. Member for Fife, West (Mr. William Hamilton) on 1st March. I am satisfied that the Missions are properly staffed for the tasks they have to perform.—[Vol. 812, c.330.]
