Belcher Mission Expenses. I)Y CABLE—PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT (Received 11.45 p.m., July 10.) LONDON, July 9. Lieut.-Col. A. Buckley, D. 5.0., in the House of Commons, answering a question regarding the cost of Major Belcher’s visit to New Zealand in connection with the British Empire Exhibition, said that Major Belcher’s salary was £I7OO plus entertainment allowance £SOO. He understood an expenditure of £4BO was incurred by Major Belcher’s mission, consisting of four persons, during their stay in New Zealand, from July 3 to August 29. The visit formed part of a tour of all the Dominions. It was difficult, therefore, to estimate what proportion of the cost of the mission’s oversea transport should be allocated to the New Zealand visit.
