HC Deb 25 May 1993 vol 225 c510W
Mr. Menzies Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many representatives of the United Kingdom Government and of what rank, civil or military, attended the 1993 international defence exhibition in Abu Dhabi; and at what cost.

Mr. Aitken

Some 24 civilian and uniformed members of my Department attended some part of this important exhibition, including the Head of Defence Exports Services and myself. Officers and men from HMS Nottingham also participated. Details of the extra costs of all those attending are not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
