HC Deb 18 November 1971 vol 826 cc214-5W
Q12. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Prime Minister what criteria he uses in choosing which Parliamentary Questions addressed to him he should answer himself.

Mr. Maudling

I have been asked to reply.

It is my right hon. Friend's practice, as it was the practice of his predecessors, to transfer to other Ministers Questions on matters for which they are primarily responsible.
