Leader of the House of Commons: Written Questions

Question

To ask the Leader of the House, if he will ensure that answers to written Parliamentary Questions provide relevant hyperlinks.

Answer

It is important that Members receive full and helpful responses to parliamentary questions.

The Guide to Parliamentary Work (available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guide-to-parliamentary-work), published by my office, states that “if referring to documents in the public domain, you should include the relevant extracts in your written response as well as the relevant hyperlink”.

I note the Procedure Committee’s report on Written Parliamentary Questions published today (available at: https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5902/cmselect/cmproced/49/report.html), which makes reference to the use of hyperlinks. The Government will respond to the Committee’s report in due course.

In addition, I encourage Hon. Members to raise any specific issues they may have with myself.
