Foreign and Commonwealth Office

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many responses he has received to the Your Britain, Your Europe questionnaire; what proportion this represents of those distributed; and what the results are.

Answer: Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many responses he has received to the Your Britain, Your Europe questionnaire; what proportion this represents of those distributed; and what the results are. [118022] Mr. Vaz: We received only a small number of replies to the short questionnaire attached to the "Your Britain, Your Europe" leaflet that accompanied my roadshow. The formal responses represented a small percentage of the seven thousand leaflets distributed, though many more people expressed their support at the time. We therefore decided not to draw any conclusions from such a small sample of written replies.
