The Foreign Secretary will continue to report regularly to Parliament on the implementation of the Joint Declaration. answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 11/12/2014 16:34:02 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2014 answer text <p>The guide to Parliamentary work (available on the Cabinet Office website at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guide-to-parliamentary-work and already in the Library of the House) sets out that Government departments can refuse to answer a question where the cost of responding to that question would be above the disproportionate cost threshold, which is currently set at £850. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office calculated that collating a response to the hon. Member’s question would exceed this threshold.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 15/12/2014 14:54:37 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
