I take the matter of late answers to Questions for Written Answer very seriously. My office reviews the ‘Questions unanswered after 10 working days’ in House of Lords Business <\/em>every day. As soon as a question appears in this section of House of Lords Business<\/em>, my office contacts the relevant department’s Parliamentary Team, and they remain in contact with the Parliamentary Team and the Minister’s Private Office until the question is answered.
I have also recently taken the opportunity to discuss the need for timely answers with members of the front bench in this House.<\/p> <\/td><\/tr>
