Mr. Flight

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, pursuant to his answer of 19 January 1998,Official Report, column 439, if he will list his official engagements between 9 October and 12 October inclusive. [25819]

Mr. Robin Cook

[holding answer 27 January 1998]: I returned to the UK between 9 and 12 October because I had no further official business in Pakistan. During the intervening period I did 18 hours work on a large volume of official FCO papers. On Friday 18 October, I carried out a full day of engagements in my constituency, which I had not been able to visit for three weeks because I had been out of the country for much of that time on FCO business at the UN General Assembly and on the State Visit.
