HC Deb 23 November 1970 vol 807 cc40-1W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he is aware that Ministers' replies to Members' correspondence addressed to the House of Commons just before the weekend is not reaching Members until the following week; and whether he will ensure that when Members request correspondence to be addressed to their homes and offices to prevent these delays the Departments act accordingly.

The Prime Minister

I am replying to this Question.

This is a matter for the Ministers concerned, but I am sure that they try, so far as possible, to meet the wishes of hon. Members.
