HC Deb 11 April 2000 vol 348 cc106-7W
25. Mr. Pond

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the progress of the "Your Britain, Your Europe" campaign. [117192]

Mr. Vaz

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is organising several activities in the coming months to build on the momentum generated by last year's "Your Britain, Your Europe" roadshow to promote the benefits of our membership of the EU. On 19 April, I will chair a seminar at Canary Wharf to assess the prospects for European economic reform following the Lisbon European Council. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office will host an Open Day on 9 May to mark Europe Day and launch its involvement in the London String of Pearls Millennium Festival. Between May and July, I plan to visit several cities in England, Scotland and Wales that will be holding Europe Days.
