Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, what formal mechanisms exist to monitor whether undertakings given by Ministers during Westminster Hall debates are fulfilled.

Ministers have a duty to Parliament to account, and be held to account, for the policies, decisions and actions of their departments. Westminster Hall debates are a valuable opportunity for Members to debate subjects for which the Government is responsible. It is a matter for individual departments and Ministers to ensure that commitments during these debates are monitored and fulfilled.
