HC Deb 15 February 1977 vol 926 c136W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister for the Civil Service whether, in view of the fact that there has been no reduction made in the grant in aid for the Government Hospitality Fund and in the light of the Government's policy of expenditure cuts, he will now make a 2 per cent. cut in the expenditure of this fund.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

No. The anticipated demands on the fund in the coming year for overseas visitors and their entertainment make it impracticable to propose any reduction.
