Business of the House

Business question from Ian Lucas (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 November 2013. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.

Yesterday, the Court of Appeal found against the Department for Work and Pensions on the very important issue of the independent living fund. Today, serious allegations have been made about the Department’s conduct. Is it not correct and proper that the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions should come to this House to be held publicly accountable to all Members on these issues and not have private conversations with the Leader of the House that are supposed to satisfy my constituents?
