<p>My responsibility as Leader of the House, to encourage Ministers to be punctual
in answering written questions, is one I take seriously. My office immediately approach
departments who have not responded to questions after 10 working days, and remain
in contact with them until the questions are answered. This process was followed with
the Cabinet Office for the seven questions that remained unanswered after 10 working
days on 18 March. All of those questions have now been answered. At the end of this
Session I will publish data on each department’s promptness in dealing with Questions
for Written Answer to allow for proper scrutiny of their performance.</p>
