The ministerial code is clear: when Parliament is in Session, the most important announcements of Government policy should be made in the first instance to Parliament. I regularly remind my colleagues of this.

What recent guidance he has given to his ministerial colleagues on making oral statements in the House on changes to government policy.
As the hon. Lady and the House will know, informing the House by means of a written statement is perfectly in order. As the Speaker himself said on 25 January last year, doing so is
“a legitimate vehicle for informing the House of ministerial decisions”.—[Official Report, 25 January 2012; Vol. 539, c. 302.]

In the light of that, was it acceptable for the Work and Pensions Secretary to announce delays to universal credit via a written statement, especially considering that this information was released to the media before the House?
I think my hon. Friend will recall that the House subsequently considered that matter and did not pursue and endorse the suggestion.

Does the Leader of the House agree with the recommendation in the first report of Session 2010-11 issued by the Procedure Committee that rather than the Government regulating themselves by means of the ministerial code, a protocol on ministerial statements should be put in place to be enforced by this House?
I wish my hon. Friend a merry Christmas, too. He is an assiduous attendee at business questions. Let us look at the numbers. In the last Session, we made about 94 oral statements, which was a ratio of 0.6 per sitting. In the course of this Session, from memory—I will correct it if I am wrong—we are running at 0.7 oral statements per sitting.

As we approach the end of this year—I wish the Leader of the House good cheer—how does he think he has succeeded in getting Ministers to make oral statements in this House? Is it an E minus, or what?

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their estimate of the total cost to the United Kingdom by 2030 of their climate change policies.[HL3947]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their estimate of the total cost to the United Kingdom by 2030 of their climate change policies.[HL3947]
The Carbon Plan, published 2011, outlines the policy framework in place to meet the first three carbon budgets (to 2022) that will continue to deliver emissions reductions over the fourth budget period (2023 to 2027). The associated costs are presented on pages 112 and 1331. The Carbon Plan also presents estimates of the net benefits of these policies. However, these estimates do not account for the benefits of tackling global climate change.
In addition, moving to a low carbon economy can drive significant investment and support jobs across the country. In 2011-12 the UK’s Low Carbon and Environmental Goods and Services sector was estimated to employ close to one million people with turnover growing to 128 billion2.
The level of Carbon Budget 5 (2028 to 2032) will be set in 2016, at which time an assessment of the estimated costs will be published.1 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-carbon-plan-reducing-greenhouse-gas-emissions--22 HTTPS://www.gov.uk/government/publications/low-carbon-and environmental-goods-and-services-2011-to-2012
