§ Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Minister of State for Defence what private contribution is being made to the cost of the Royal Yacht honeymoon next month; what is the estimated total cost; and how many personnel will be on board, differentiating between officers and ratings in the crew and others.
§ Mr. BuckCosts for food and drink for the Royal party whilst on board are a charge to the Royal Household.
As I told the House on 16th October—[Vol. 861, c. 11]—no diversion from the route already planned for the Royal Yacht is expected, and thus no additional costs are likely to arise.
