My question relates to column 611W of yesterday’s Hansard and a written answer that I received. I thank the Leader of the House and her deputy most warmly for the support that they have been giving to my mini-campaign. When a Minister’s written answer refers to a written answer given to another hon. Member, I would like a hard copy of that answer to be supplied. I also thank them both for the following written answer:"““It is standard practice to provide Members with a copy of any previous response which is referred to in an answer to a question.””—[Official Report, 26 November 2007; Vol. 468, c. 133W.]"
May I therefore ask the Leader of the House to have a word with the Under-Secretary of State for Defence, the hon. Member for Halton (Derek Twigg)? He provided a written answer that stated:"““The MOD has never provided this information and has no plans to change its policy.””—[Official Report, 12 December 2007; Vol. 469, c. 611W.]"
I know that they are overstretched and part-time, but should they not at least listen to the Leader of the House?
