HC Deb 17 November 1983 vol 48 c528W
Mr. Michael Forsyth

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the estimated annual cost of travel undertaken by civil servants employed by his Department (a) within the United Kingdom and (b) overseas.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

The estimated Departmental costs of travel for 1983–84 are £735,000 within the United Kingdom and £18,000 overseas. It is not possible to separate costs for civil servants from those incurred by Ministers except at disproportionate cost.
