HC Deb 02 August 1972 vol 842 c133W
39. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will give details of the Members elected. selected or appointed to go to Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic since January, 1972, listing for what purposes, on what expenses, and on what vote this will be covered; and whether he can give an assurance that the expenses will not be taken from the fund to be established for travel by Members as proposed in the Boyle Report.

Mr. R. Carr

I am not aware of any official delegations to Northern Ireland and Eire and it would not he appropriate for me to comment on any private arrangements that have been made for visits there.

The question of financing any such visits would be a matter for the Committee administering the Funds, if the House were to approve both the establishment of the two funds and such a Committee.
