HC Deb 19 March 1990 vol 169 cc439-40W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Lord President of the Council, on average, how much of his time has been spent on his duties as(a) Lord President of the Council and (b) Leader of the House of Commons since 1 January.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

It is not possible sensibly to separate and quantify the duties associated with the two offices referred to, as distinct from my wider duties as a member of the Administration.
