HC Deb 10 March 2003 vol 401 cc112-3W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will make a statement on the results of his regional government soundings exercise broken down by English region. [101906]

Mr. Raynsford

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister asked for responses by 3 March 2003 on the level of regional interest in holding a referendum for an elected regional assembly. We are now evaluating the responses and will announce our decisions after the Regional Assemblies (Preparations) Bill has received Royal Assent.
