§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for what reason she has not answered the Question from the hon. Member for Buckingham tabled on 8 November 2001 regarding the cost to the public purse arising from the name change of her Department (ref. 14449). [32043]
§ Mr. MorleyThe delay in responding to the PQ is regretted. It was the consequence of a very heavy workload and limited staff resources at that time in the particular DEFRA unit responsible for providing answers to questions in this area of activity.
