Does anyone know of an attachment that can be fitted to an electric power
drill (standard 43mm collar) which will allow dust created when drilling to
be removed using a vacuum cleaner, dust extraction unit or similar (which I
already have)?

I'm not interested in buying a new drill with integral dust collection
mechamism, nor using envelopes, plastic bags or trays to collect dust.

Ideally, the attachment will extract dust from the surface of the material
being drilled (typically masonry) and remain at that position when the
drill penetrates the material.

Sorry, no answer - I thought that odd. Standard 43mm? Why 43mm??

Years ago, I bought a gadget that did not attach to the drill, yet may 
not be covered by your exclusions. Plastic hose to attach to vacuum 
cleaner, and a rectangular cover (3 inches by 5?) with a hole in it. 
Rotating disc over hole with four assorted smaller holes. Turn on 
vacuum, stick it to the wall and select a suitable hole size. Drill, 
then remove.

Closest I have seen would be:

http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/endecaSearch/partDetail.jsp?SKU=TL00880&N=0

This does not attach to the drill however - you hold or fix it to the 
wall, and then drill through it. It will collect a certain amount of 
dust all by itself even without the vacuum.

Now that you mention it, I have a Bosch drill bit set which came with a 
black rubber cup thing, about 5cm across, I always assumed it was for some 
kind of dust extraction but never really thought about how to use it.

maybe someone here has the answer.

When working alone I use:-

Empty 4 Litre plastic milk carton with hole cut in side large enough 
for drill chuck part to enter, plus smaller hole for bit to pass 
through in opposite side. Fix vacuum hose in spout of carton with duct 
tape. Carton hangs upside down as you drill the holes, from the drill 
bit.

When working with assistant I just get her to hold the vac pipe close 
to the bit.

I do this:

Take an envelope and some masking tape.
fold the flap back on the envelope and open it out a bit.
Tape the back tot he wall just above the hole using an overlap of a few mm 
of the tape from the envelope.

Then drill the hole and the waste drops into the envelope.
Because its only a few mm of the tape the length of the envelope you can pee 
lit off easily and move it to the next hole.
Then you can throw it in the bin when finished.
