Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Ian Swales and Shailesh Vara

Tuesday 4th February 2014 Commons Chamber

She will appreciate, however, that we have a large estate and we keep matters under review, and we will keep her and her colleagues informed as soon as we are able to do so.

[Ian Swales (Redcar) (LD)]
