20. Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development how many delegates to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association Annual Conference in Edinburgh visited her Department's stall; and what the take-up was of publications and other materials from the stall by delegates. [138124]

Clare Short

We estimate that over 200 delegates visited the Department for International Development stand during the Conference, representing over a third of those attending. There was considerable interest in the publications, which covered a wide range of issues about the Department and its work.
