Business question from Lord McLoughlin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 April 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Will the Leader of the House consider issuing a statement to the House on the way in which Members should expect to receive replies from Ministers? I received a letter the other week from the Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health, which is signed off:""Approved by the Minister's private office and electronically signed in her absence."" As far as my constituents are concerned, the Minister never even looked at the correspondence. Can we have a position in which Ministers in the main sign off letters personally rather than electronically?
