HC Deb 09 July 1998 vol 315 c579W
Mr. Fabricant

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the projects undertaken by his Department since 1 May 1997 to research public reaction to(a) Government policies and (b) potential new policies; and if he will place the results of the research in the Library. [46686]

Mr. Fatchett

In line with the practice of successive Administrations, the Department consults the public, interested parties and client groups by way of consultation papers, White Papers and discussion on a wide range of policies and proposed legislation. There have been no major exercises since 1 May 1997 researching public reaction to Government policies or potential new policies; nor has the Department published any White Papers. We did however, commission a survey on attitudes to Europe in November 1997. A copy of the results has been placed in the Library.
