What was the cost to the United Kingdom taxpayer of the Birmingham G8 summit. [HL2000]
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean)We do not yet know the final cost of the G8 Birmingham Summit because we have not received all the bills. But we estimate the cost of the arrangements made by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to be £6.9 million.
