Proceeding contribution from Baroness Beckett (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 March 2006. It occurred during Urgent question on Rural Payments Agency.
Rural Payments Agency
The hon. Gentleman is right: Members did repeatedly ask such questions, and as has always been the practice in any Department of which I have been head, when Members ask awkward questions, Ministers do the same. The answers that Ministers gave to Members were those that Ministers got, no matter how hard they probed. The hon. Gentleman asked whether I would give the House an update in a month’s time. I do not necessarily rule that out, but what I can say is that I will keep the House informed by whatever means exist as fully and speedily as I can. If I can give the House a quantified update in a month’s time I will, and if I can do so earlier, I will.
