§ Mr. TrendTo ask the Prime Minister when he intends to respond to the request dated 14 January from the right hon. and learned Member for Folkestone and Hythe (Mr. Howard), asking him to publish the letter he sent to Pauline Green MEP concerning the European Parliament's vote on EU fraud and the motion of censure. [70664]
§ The Prime MinisterI have not been able to identify any such request. However, I have replied in full to the letter of 18 December from the right hon. and learned Member for Folkestone and Hythe (Mr. Howard) about the European Commission's vote not to accept the recommendations of its Budgetary Control Committee to grant discharge to the Commission for its implementation of the 1996 Budget. If the right hon. and learned Member wishes me to do so, I would be glad to put copies of the correspondence in the Library.
