Departmental Public Relations

Mr. Arnold
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the average length of time taken to reply by his Department to an inquiry from a member of the public or a representative body with regard to current EEC business.

Mr. Judd
All such inquiries are dealt with as rapidly as possible and normally without undue delay. If the hon. Member has a particular case in mind I suggest that he should write to me about it.
