§ 45. Mr. Skinnardasked the Prime Minister if he is aware that in cases taken up with Departments by Members of this House on behalf of their constituents, the decisions arrived at are frequently communicated to the constituents in advance of notification to the hon. Members concerned; and if he will give instructions that the information shall be available to hon. Members either in advance of, or simultaneously with, the notification to the constituents.
§ The Lord President of the Council (Mr. Herbert Morrison)I have been asked to reply. I think that this is a matter which hon. Members might take up with the Minister concerned in any case in which they are dissatisfied with what has been done. Speedy settlement of individual cases will often justify direct communication between Departments and constituents, but hon. Members will be kept informed of what has been done.
