HC Deb 05 December 1984 vol 69 c200W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what proportion of the administrative expenses of his Department he estimates to be directly or indirectly attributable to duties which must be carried out by his Department as a result of membership of the European Economic Community.

Mr. Renton

In 1983–84, 1.06 per cent. (£3,947,703) of the running costs of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, including the Overseas Development Administration, was attributable to duties which must be carried out as a result of membership of the European Economic Community.
