The question

To ask the Leader of the House, if he will have discussions with his Cabinet colleagues on the response times to written questions from the hon. Member for Newton Abbot.

Answered by Sir Alan Campbell

Parliament has a right to hold Ministers to account. I have written to all members of Cabinet to remind Ministers of their responsibilities to provide full and timely responses to Members' PQs.

I encourage hon. Members to raise any specific issues they may have with myself and my office.
