This question was answered on 2nd November 2020
As Leader of the House I take very seriously the responsibility incumbent on all Ministers to provide full, timely and comprehensive answers to Questions for Written Answers (QWAs). My office works closely with all departmental Parliamentary teams to help provide advice on what is expected of them in providing such answers.
Ministers are also reminded regularly of the importance of their obligations to the House.
