HC Deb 25 July 1969 vol 787 c550W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council whether, in view of the public interest in Parliamentary Questions, he will move to amend the practice of the House so as to arrange for written Parliamentary Questions to be answered by Ministers and details published in a daily HANSARD during Parliamentary Recesses.

Mr. Peart

I have carefully noted the suggestion, but I doubt whether such a change would justify the considerable administrative and staffing costs that would be entailed.
