The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question which asked what costs there had been to the Exchequer of my visits to the United States and Romania in 1991 and 1992 respectively.
My visit to the United States was associated with a Wales Tourist Board marketing initiative—"Wise Wales". The cost of my participation in this was £457.
My visit to Romania was as the UK representative at a Council of Europe seminar designed to offer advice to the Romanian authorities on measures to conserve and present the remains of that country's built heritage. The cost of this visit was £470.00 which was met by the Council of Europe.
