HC Deb 28 July 1980 vol 989 cc464-5W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Prime Minister whether she will set up an investigation into the extent of official travel abroad by Ministers and their officials, to ascertain whether, in accordance with the Government's policy of reducing public expenditure, such travel costs can be reduced to the level which obtained in May 1979.

The Prime Minister

The existing arrangements ensure that official travel abroad by Ministers and their officials is justified.
