Business question from Tony Baldry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 October 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

The cull of quangos is welcome in enhancing accountability, but the corollary is that that accountability must go to Secretaries of State and Departments. Will my right hon. Friend instruct the Table Office and the departmental parliamentary Clerks to be more welcoming on the tabling of written questions to Departments? There should be a general principle that if a Department spends money on it, we should be able to ask questions about it.
