answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2014 answer text <p>It is the responsibility of individual ministers to decide what answers they give to Questions for Written Answer (QWAs), and they are of course accountable to the House for those answers. The importance of this direct accountability is such that I recently decided, following the introduction of a new system for answering QWAs electronically, to require Ministers in this House to continue providing personally signed answers to noble Lords. The Ministerial Code states that “It is of paramount importance that Ministers give accurate and truthful information to Parliament”.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Hill of Oareford question first answered 20/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4144 label Biography information for Lord Hill of Oareford
