Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Dubs (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 5 July 2010.
House of Lords: Reform
- Question
- Does the Minister agree that every Minister should be accountable to one House or the other in Parliament and that it is therefore an anomaly that the Minister without Portfolio in the Cabinet Office is apparently not answerable to anybody in either House? Will the Minister ensure, in feeding in to this process, that all Ministers are accountable?... It is this House.
- Answer
-
I cannot believe that that is not the case. Perhaps the noble Lord will write to me on it; otherwise, I will report what he suggests to the Cabinet Office. I think that I have seen most Ministers up for Questions. If the Minister is in another place, it is open to Members of another place... Ah. I know where we are now. Why does the noble Lord not try putting down a Question to her?
