§ Q13. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Prime Minister why he did not reply to the communications about the European Communities sent to him under dates of 8th April and 13th April, 1972 from Mr. L. M. Hopkins from Devizes, Wiltshire; why the replies from D. Pragnell of his office on 11th and 17th April did not deal with the points raised by Mr. Hopkins; and whether he will arrange to publish this correspondence in the OFFICIAL REPORT or place it in the Library.
§ The Prime MinisterI receive about 90,000 letters a year from the public, and it is not possible for me to reply personally to each of them. I do not accept that the replies sent on my behalf did not deal satisfactorily with the points raised by Mr. Hopkins. It is not my practice to publish my correspondence with members of the public.
