HC Deb 02 May 1977 vol 931 c17W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in what line of the Estimates for 1977–78 provision is made for interest-free loans to members of the Diplomatic Service for purchasing cars; and how much is included in the figure for that purpose in the 1976–77 and 1977–78 columns of Supply Estimates 231–II.

Mr. Tomlinson

There is no provision in Supply Estimates for loans made to members of the Diplomatic Service to purchase cars as in each case the sum involved is placed in a suspense account which is cleared as repayments are made.
