Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the constituencies visited by the "Your Britain, Your Europe" Roadshow; and how the destinations were chosen. [105693]

Mr. Vaz

I visited Newcastle, Hull, Rotherham, Manchester, Bristol, Bath, Nuneaton, Birmingham and Leicester, each of which is a regional centre of population. This covered the constituencies of: Sedgefield; Tyne Bridge; Gateshead and Washington, East; Houghton and Washington, East; Hull, North; Rotherham; Manchester, Central; Wythenshawe and Sale, East; Bristol, South; Bath; Nuneaton; Birmingham Ladywood and Leicester, South. In each town or city we visited a variety of venues to meet a broad spectrum of society. This included calls on EU funded projects and visits to companies, schools and universities. All local Members of Parliament and Members of the European Parliament were informed of my visit and given the opportunity to participate.
