Mr Lansley
I seem to recall that Labour Members wanted the time for Deputy Prime Minister’s questions to be extended.
Miss Anne McIntosh (Thirsk and Malton) (Con)
7. I welcome the Leader of the House to his new position. May I ask him to consider improving scrutiny of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs by extending the time allocated to oral questions to its Secretary of State?
Mr Lansley
I am aware of my hon. Friend’s interest in that issue. I think that the time available for DEFRA questions has proved adequate, and we have no plans to change it at present.
