HC Deb 06 December 1994 vol 251 c190W
Dr. Wright

To ask the Prime Minister how many hon. Members are currently covered by the doctrine of collective responsibility.

Mr. Newton

I have been asked to reply.

All 108 members of the Government are bound by collective responsibility. The position of parliamentary private secretaries is set out in paragraph 47 of "Questions of Procedure for Minsters", a copy of which is available in the Library of the House.
