HC Deb 11 July 1977 vol 935 c56W
Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the estimated overall cost of the United Kingdom's presidency of the EEC.

Mr. Judd

The costs to my right hon. Friend's Department in terms of extra staff and that proportion of conference expenditure in the United Kingdom accounted for by our Presidency of the EEC are still being calculated. I will provide the hon. Gentleman with details of the costs for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and other Departments as soon as they are available.
