Business question from Bill Esterson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 October 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Will the Leader of the House ensure that Ministers give adequate notice of visits to Members' constituencies? On Tuesday evening, I received an e-mail notifying me of a visit by the Roads Minister, the Under-Secretary of State for Transport, the hon. Member for Hemel Hempstead (Mike Penning), on Wednesday morning, which gave me inadequate time to be there myself. Sefton council was notified of the visit on Monday morning, two days earlier. Will the Leader of the House investigate why the local authority was given notice 36 hours before I was?
