§ Mr. GillTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many T-shirts were printed for distribution to(a) schoolchildren and (b) others commemorating the United Kingdom Presidency of the European Union; and at what cost to public funds. [33009]
§ Mr. Doug Henderson154 T-shirts were printed by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, bearing the UK Presidency logo. These were given to the children who designed the logo and children involved in Presidency launch events at British Embassies in other EU countries. The total cost was £661.60 excluding VAT. Other posts and organisations have also been able to use the Presidency logo and in some cases have produced T-shirts, but finding out how many and at what cost to public funds would involve disproportionate cost.
