Enquiries Department The work of the Department has carried on per normal since the last report we submitted to Conference. The Department has, in the main, had to deal with enquiries from the following sources:         Requests for trial subscriptions to the Socialist Standard from the advert that appears in the various editions of the Big Issue.         Requests for trial subscriptions and information packs from Party leaflets distributed at various demonstrations around the country and elsewhere.         Requests for information packs that have come to the Party via people accessing the website, and forwarded onto us by Cde Rob Stafford of the Internet Dept. We have also in the previous six months taken the opportunity of contacting again former enquirers and subscribers to the Socialist Standard to inform them of Socialist Party events that have taken place in Glasgow, Birmingham and London. These mailouts have been met with mixed results, but we do feel that it is important that, from time to time, we make use of our Enquiry database to contact former enquirers around the country, to inform them of forthcoming events local to their area; new Socialist Party publications and to ask if they would be interested in talking out a subscription to the Socialist Standard. Plans for the next six months include carrying on the work of the Department as per usual, which will include mailouts to former enquirers but we are also looking into 'freshening up' the information pack that we send out to first time enquirers. As well as sending out copies of the Socialist Standard, our introductory pamphlets and recently produced Party leaflets we have also been sending out two handouts that are a collation of articles from old Socialist Standards that deal with such subjects as the 'anti-capitalist movement' and 'Marxism versus Leninism.' We will liaise with other Depts and individual Party members to compile a new selection of articles to be sent out to first time enquirers. Enquiry figures breakdown for the period January-June 2004 to follow in time for the Autumn Delegate Meeting. D. O'Neil.
