To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what functions in connection with the royal family are covered by expenditure for the marshall of the diplomatic corps.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

He makes all necessary arrangements for heads of diplomatic missions on state and official occasions, and for their duties in connection with the Queen as Head of State. There is no expenditure in connection with other members of the royal family.
