answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2018 answer text <p>Further to my Written Answers on 5 February (HL5378) and on 6 March (HL5733) and the Written Answer from Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 5 February (HL5379), the percentage of the total cost in each case represented by members of the House of Lords is dependent on the overall number of Peers on the delegations concerned, and other factors, notably the amount of time spent on their work as members of the delegations. Allocation of places on the delegations is a matter for the political parties and it would be up to them to decide what account to take of these costs in allocating places on the delegations.</p> answering member printed Lord McFall of Alcluith question first answered 28/03/2018 12:37:14 answering member 4148 label Biography information for Lord McFall of Alcluith
