Alistair Burt – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Alistair Burt on 2014-06-25.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what estimate he has made of public footfall at the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict.

Mark Simmonds

One of the principal aims of the Global Summit was to invite members of the public to take part in the Summit and to transform awareness of a taboo and often poorly understood subject. We estimate that several thousand members of the public attended the Fringe events each day.
