Leader of the House – in the House of Commons at 10:30 am on 20 March 2008.
What assessment she has made of the completeness of information given in answers to parliamentary questions.
I refer the hon. Gentleman to the answer that I gave earlier.
The Minister will be aware that certain Ministers within each Department take lead responsibility for written questions. Do those Ministers meet and share best practice, and is there a document that outlines that best practice, or do Government Departments operate in silos, given that certain Departments are much better than others?
As the hon. Gentleman understands, where Government Departments have shared interests and shared policy responsibilities, of course they carry those forward together and discuss not only policy development but what appropriate announcements should be made to this House.
