HC Deb 14 June 1972 vol 838 cc323-4W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will ensure that the Government Hospitality Fund does not expend money on beef for use at official dinners and banquets.

Mr. Amery

I am confident that the Government Hospitality Fund will exer- cise its customary care and discretion in the selection of menus for official dinners and banquets, bearing in mind the current prices and availability of supplies on the market.
