HC Deb 23 March 1994 vol 240 c249W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport on how many occasions in the last five years he has knowingly provided incomplete information in answers to parliamentary questions other than on grounds of disproportionate cost; and on what subjects.

Mr. MacGregor

I answer parliamentary questions on the basis set out in paragraph 27 of "Questions of Procedure for Ministers".

Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list for the last 12 months how many parliamentary questions he has referred to one of his Department's agencies for answer; and what percentage of parliamentary questions to his Department this represents.

Mr. Norris

The information required is not held in the form requested.

There have been 14 questions this parliamentary session which were referred to the chief executives of the Department's executive agencies. This represents 0.84 per cent.
