Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they use a system to monitor commitments by Ministers to write to members if they are unable to answer the oral question at the time it is asked in the House of Lords Chamber; and if so, how many replies are currently outstanding.
This question was answered on 28th March 2017
The content of answers to Oral Questions is a matter for the Minister concerned, and each Minister is accountable to the House for the answers they provide. As such it is for individual departments to ensure commitments made by Ministers to write to members meet the Minister's responsibilities under section 1 of the Ministerial Code.
