Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs written question – answered at on 15 July 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much each (a) HM embassy and (b) UK high commission spend on hosting a party to mark the official birthday of HM Queen Elizabeth II in the last year for which figures are available.
The cost of each Queen’s birthday party organised across our network of overseas missions are wholly or partially paid for out of locally held budgets in each country. These figures are therefore not available without incurring disproportionate cost.
The Queen’s birthday party offers an excellent opportunity to promote the United Kingdom and build relations with a wide range of contacts and local opinion formers during this special but dignified occasion.
