asked the Minister for the Civil Service what are the current levels of all types of allowance payable to A Grade personnel of the EEC Commissions and to United Kingdom members of the EEC Assembly, respectively, for a 24-hour stay in London.

Officials of the EEC Commission in grades A1-A3 receive an allowance of £15·26. In addition they are reimbursed the cost of their hotel room, including service and taxes but excluding breakfast, up to a maximum of £18·60. Those in grades A4-A8 receive an allowance of £25·76. All these amounts are currently under review.I understand that a United Kingdom Member of the European Parliament would not receive an allowance for a 24-hour stay in London.
