HC Deb 09 July 2001 vol 371 c350W
Ms Coffey

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the role of Lord Levy on behalf of Her Majesty's Government, including to whom he is accountable, and on the facilities, expenses and remuneration he receives at public expense. [3200]

Mr. Straw

From time to time, Lord Levy will travel as the Prime Minister's envoy. He will report to the Prime Minister and to me.

Lord Levy receives no remuneration and travels at his own expense. The FCO provides him with logistics and administrative support, including use of an office in London and official accommodation overseas, and briefing as necessary.
