7. This figure could be higher. The precise numbers of campaign and campaign plus responses are challenging to determine due to some respondents submitting their responses using the online response system (and therefore making identification very difficult) and others submitting electronic or hard copies which facilitated ready identification of the common templates used.

10. Precise numbers of respondents could not be used here, as explained in paragraph 4.26, due to overlapping responses across different questions.
