Question

The Leader of the House, further to her Written Answer on 2 June (HL4609), when she last reminded Lord Bethell of his responsibility to adhere to paragraph 6.14 of the Companion to the Standing Orders and Guide to the Proceedings in the House of Lords; and what assessment she has made of whether the Written Answers by Lord Bethell on 14 May (HL3016) and on 28 May (HL4613) were consistent with that responsibility.

Since I gave my answer to HL4609 all Ministers have been reminded of their obligations to the House in respect of written questions. Individual Ministers are responsible to the House for the answers they provide.
