Answer: Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, pursuant to his answer of 10 April 2000, Official Report, column 77W, on the European Union, if he will list the responses referred to in his reply to question 118022; how many leaflets have yet to be distributed; what was the printing cost for the undistributed leaflets; and what analysis he has made of the cause of the small number of responses. [119863] Mr. Vaz: [holding answer 20 April 2000]: As we received only a small number of replies to the questionnaire, we did not keep a record of responses. We have distributed most of the leaflets and will distribute the remainder over the next few months. We have not drawn any conclusions about the small number of responses.
