HC Deb 08 August 1972 vol 842 cc394-5W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what emoluments and expenses, in addition to their salaries, are paid to civil servants now lodged in hotels in Northern Ireland; and what is the average weekly amount of these extra payments.

Mr. David Howell

Officials of the Northern Ireland Office lodged in hotels in Northern Ireland receive no payments in addition to their salaries. Their food and accommodation costs are met, at a total average weekly cost of about £930. They are also allowed a free visit home once a month, at a total average weekly cost of about £70.
