Public Consultations

HC Deb 10 February 1999 vol 325 cc288-9W

Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish his Department's collation and assessment of responses to each of the Government's public consultations. [69778]

Mr. Fatchett

The FCO does not as a matter of course collate and assess responses to the Government's public consultations. To do so in order to reply to this question would involve disproportionate costs.
