Mr. Cash

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the cost to date of the public campaign to explain the benefits of the European Union. [138650]

Mr. Vaz

Since the launch of the "Your Britain, Your Europe" information initiative in November last year, we have spent almost –171,000. This covers the cost of visits to 22 towns and cities across UK, an open day at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in May to mark Europe Day, and other events and publications.
