HC Deb 03 December 2001 vol 376 c89W
Andrew Mackinlay

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs on how many occasions in the past five years members of the Royal Family, other than Her Majesty the Queen, Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, have been accommodated(a) in the residences of United Kingdom representatives overseas and (b) at public expense when primarily involved on private visits overseas. [18378]

Mr. Straw

Members of the Royal Family on private visits overseas may be accommodated at the residences of UK representatives overseas, particularly if security questions are involved, but no consolidated record is kept.

The FCO does not pay hotel and other bills when members of the Royal Family travel privately.
