Order. I will try to accommodate remaining colleagues, but short questions are now required. We are having pithy answers but we need short questions.

As someone who has an open mind and can see competing arguments on both sides, may I ask that we ensure that the information used in the campaign is factually correct? A few weeks ago, a letter criticising the Prime Minister appeared in The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail, apparently signed by a local Conservative activist from my constituency, linking the association to the letter, yet no one had ever heard of that person. May I ask that information put forward by both sides is fair, accurate and factually correct so that the British public can decide on the basis of fair evidence?

My hon. Friend makes an important point. We are producing a series of documents and we must make sure that the information is accurate.
