HC Deb 11 November 1999 vol 337 cc846-7W
Mr. Chaytor

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many members of his Department are deployed in the United Kingdom's mission to the WTO in Geneva; and what are (i) the personnel costs and (ii) the office costs of maintaining them. [98234]

Mr. Hain

Five members of the United Kingdom's mission to the UN and other International Organisations in Geneva are employed fully or partly on WTO. The personnel cost for these staff (including accommodation and support staff costs) is approximately £550,000 per annum. The Office costs are difficult to calculate as they are bound up with the overall costs of UKMis Geneva and the UK's other two diplomatic missions in Geneva which are all co-located.
