asked the Prime Minister to state the total expense incurred by, or incidental to, the recent visit to Malaya of Ministers of the Crown and any staff accompanying them.

The cost incurred was approximately £2,800.

Does that include the expenditure of any small arms ammunition by the Secretary of State for War?

Can my right hon. Friend tell us the exact date on which the Opposition became converted to the view that there is something wrong about Ministers visiting territories for which they have responsibility?

The Question only asked what the total expense was and not whether it was wrong or right.

Is not this a very small sum to enable Socialist Ministers to come to grips with reality, even for a short time?

That also has nothing to do with the Question. I think we had better get on with the next Question.
