§ Mr. D. E. Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the cost to his Department of the recent Royal visit to Wales.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsExternal costs, excluding any claims that may be made by lord-lieutenants and lieutenants for reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with their official duties, are likely to be some £730. The cost of staff time spent on work connected with the visit could only be calculated at disproportionate cost.
