§ Dr. Evan HarrisTo ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to his answer of 27 June 2002, Official Report, column 1075W, on homeless people, what the reasons were for the delay in answering the Question. [70232]
§ Ms BlearsWe place a high priority on our obligation to ensure that Members receive a timely, accurate and helpful response to their questions, and make every effort to ensure that the live load of questions still awaiting a reply is kept to a minimum at all times. In this instance, the cross-cutting nature of the question led to a regrettable delay in preparing a response, for which I apologise to the hon. Member.
