HC Deb 10 March 1982 vol 19 cc430-1W
Mr. Winnick

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will ensure that replies to written questions appear in the Official Report on the same day on which they are answered; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hayhoe

There are technical limits to the amount of work which can be printed overnight and the report of the day's proceedings is always given priority over written answers. Nevertheless there has recently been a marked and welcome improvement in the timely publication of written answers.
