§ Mr. Markhamasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the long delay that occurs in the answering of some written questions, he will consider fixing a time limit of five days for such answers?
§ The Prime MinisterI would refer my hon. Friend to what I said on this subject on 22nd July in reply to a question by the hon. and gallant Member for Nuneaton (Lieut.-Commander Fletcher). I trust that the arrangements now made will avoid any unnecessary delay in replying to written questions.
