uin	HL17586
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/09/2019 answer text <p>The Government attaches great importance to the effective and timely handling of correspondence and written questions. The right of parliamentarians to take up issues directly with the Government is an important part of the democratic process and underlines the accountability of Ministers to Parliament. Each government department has their own protocol on the timelines for correspondence responses to be sent out, and parliamentarians should contact departments if they feel that responses they receive are not timely or effective. My private office is in regular contact with the private offices of my front bench team to ensure that the Lords front bench's correspondence to parliamentarians is answered promptly and effectively.</p> answering member printed Baroness Evans of Bowes Park question first answered 26/09/2019 12:37:10 answering member 4329 label Biography information for Baroness Evans of Bowes Park
