House of Lords: Oral Questions

Question

To ask the Leader of the House what steps he is taking to encourage Members of the House to ask short and relevant supplementary Oral Questions.

Answer

My Lords, the guidance in the Companion on supplementary questions is crystal clear. We all of us in this House have a shared responsibility

to follow it. I have written to the Leader of the Opposition, the Convenor and my noble friend the Deputy Leader to ask for their support in reminding Members of that guidance. I have also encouraged Members on my Front Bench to provide succinct answers so that more supplementary questions can be asked.
