Business question from Alistair Burt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 November 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Some farmers in my constituency, despite 23 months of struggle and being placed on a priority priority list, have still not received accurate maps of their farm from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, thus further delaying the ill-fated single farm payment scheme. Does the Leader of the House accept that one of the hallmarks of his Government is now the lack of belief among the public that they can deliver any major reform, from single farm payments to working tax credits? Will he institute an inquiry among his Cabinet colleagues into how many major projects are overrun, over-budget, subject to an ombudsman’s inquiry, or necessitating the employment of expensive consultants, and place the results in the Library?
