HC Deb 06 July 1999 vol 334 c506W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland for what proportion of(a) written and (b) oral questions, answered by his Department since 26 January, the reply contained an indication that this would be a matter for the Scottish Parliament after the transfer of functions. [89806]

Dr. Reid

Since 26 January, my Department has answered 798 written questions and 199 oral questions and sampling suggests that around three quarters and two thirds respectively indicated that either the subject matter or part of the subject matter would be for the Scottish Parliament after the transfer of functions.
