Department of Health and Social Care: Written Questions
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Monday 3rd March 2025 Question to the Leader of the House: To ask the Leader of the House, if she will take steps with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to ensure that written Parliamentary questions are answered on time. Answered by Lucy Powell - Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons Parliament has a right to hold Ministers to account. I have written to all members of Cabinet to remind Ministers of their responsibilities to provide helpful and timely responses to Members' PQs. The Procedure Committee monitors individual department’s PQ performance and it recently published a report into performance in the 2023–24 Session (available at: https://committees.parliament.uk/work/8673/written-parliamentary-questions-departmental-performance-in-session-202324/publications/). I look forward to working with the Committee on this and other matters. I encourage hon. Members to raise any specific issues they may have with myself and my office. |
