§ Mr. Roy Hughesasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many official British delegations have visited the Cologne sports institute since June 1978; what has been the cost to his Department; and what future visits are planned.
§ Mr. Denis HowellI am not aware of any visits to the Cologne sports institute by official British delegations since I paid my brief visit there in August 1978, the 695W cost of which was minimal as I was already in Germany for other reasons.
However, I understand that my suggestion for an interchange of ideas and information with experts at the institute will soon be followed up by a visit from a small team of physiologists, physical education specialists and sports administrators.
