§ Mr. Newensasked the Secretary of State for Defence how many States are known to have sent representatives to the Aldershot exhibition of defence equipment: and how many of these had fares or other expenses paid by Her Majesty's Government.
§ Mr. PymSome 85 countries were represented at the exhibition. The majority of these attended at their own expense. The full cost of those cases where fares and other expenses were paid is recovered through the charges levied on exhibitors with no residual cost to the taxpayer.
