Falconer of Thoroton, Lord

Question
Why they decided not to place in the Official Report for 12 April the material produced in answer to the Question tabled by Lord Chesham on 13 January, when answers to similar Questions had previously appeared in the Official Report; and whether they believe that it is in the interest of open government to place Answers to Questions for Written Answer in the Library of the House, where they are not readily accessible to the public, rather than to publish them in the Official Report; and whether they are content that it should take until 31 March to answer a Written Question dated 13 January; and whether they will publish the answer to this question in the Official Report rather than place it in the Library of the House. [HL1953] [HL1954] [HL1955] - Inc table.
