Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Leader of the House – in the House of Commons at 10:30 am on 9th February 2012.
The Leader of the House will be aware that there are 18 written ministerial statements on the Order Paper today. Given that the House is now rising for recess, it will be impossible to debate them. Will he publish the policy criteria determining whether written, as opposed to oral, ministerial statements are made?
