House of Lords: Select Committee Reports

Question

To ask the Leader of the House, further to her Written Answer on 7 November (HL2539), what consideration has been given to listing in House of Lords Business the names of Government departments that have failed to respond within two months to reports from Lords select committees and joint select committees of both houses.

Answer

The question includes a proposal which in my view is worth consideration; I am not aware of the proposal having been made previously. Accordingly, as any change to House of Lords Business would be a matter for the Procedure Committee, I intend to submit such a proposal for consideration at its next meeting.
