House of Commons Hansard Written Answers for 8 Jun 2004 (pt 2)

8 Jun 2004 : Column 279W—continued

Regional Government

Mr. Hoyle: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how he has told people in (a) the North West, (b) Lancashire and (c) Chorley about the referendum on regional government; and how much has been spent on informing people of the referendum on regional government in (i) the North West, (ii) Lancashire and (iii) Chorley. [177149]

Mr. Raynsford: The Government's "Your Say" information campaign has been running in the three northern regions since November 2003.

In the North West this has included issue of the "Your Say—A New Opportunity for the North West" leaflet in November 2003, available at no charge from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's Free Literature, from the Government Office for the North West and at regional events, such as the recent hearings on elected regional assemblies. 552,000 copies were distributed as inserts in 19 free sheet newspapers across Lancashire and Cumbria. There were three hearings in the North West, at Blackburn, Liverpool and Kendal. Ministers have also visited the North West as part of cross-regional tours in inform voters of our policy and on other occasions.

8 Jun 2004 : Column 280W

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister also intends to send a leaflet to every household in the North West prior to the proposed referendum so that voters are fully informed of our policy on elected assemblies and the associated local government restructuring.

The cost of the 'Your Say' information campaign is not broken down by region, county or town. It has a budget of £5 million across all three regions.

Secondments

Norman Baker: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will list the secondees from outside organisations working in his Department, stating in each case (a) the name of the person, (b) the name of the organisation, (c) the post held and (d) the start and finish dates of the secondment; and which are involved in drafting parliamentary answers. [158049]

Yvette Cooper: The information requested is in the table. The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister does not routinely publish the names and personal details of individual employees, in order to ensure compliance with the Data Protection Act. While on secondment,
