§ Mr. Dykesasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the total cost to public funds of the recent visit by himself and his official party to the United Nations Habitat Conference in Vancouver; and what proportion of this total was used up in outlays on food and beverages.
§ Mr. ShoreI refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Member for Grimsby (Mr. Crosland)—now Foreign Secretary—to the hon. Member for Reigate (Mr. Gardiner) on 7th April 1976.—[Vol. 909, c. 181.] As the Habitat Conference will not end until 11th June, the actual costs incurred cannot yet be assessed.
