AKCEIVED IN REGISTRY MO. 5) 2 4 JUN 1982
Parliamentary Unit
PQ BY MR ROBERT HICKS ON DEPENDENCIES
1. I attach a draft reply to Mr Hicks' PQ.
DESK OFFICER INDEX
RECITAY
PA
Action Taken
The list of
territories and their populations is the same as given in
answer to a PQ on 10 May. The figures for the areas of the
territories have been agreed with the geographical departments
concerned.
2. The second part of Mr Hicks' question is unclear. We have
discussed how to deal with it with the Parliamentary Unit who
have in turn spoken to their colleagues in the appropriate office
at the House of Commons. All agree that it is quite impossible
to know what information Mr Hicks is seeking. In these circum-
stances we can only answer as in the attached draft. This has
been explained this morning to Mr Hicks. He understands.
