Questions for Written Answer

HL Deb 08 July 1997 vol 581 c65WA

Lord Hill-Norton

asked the Leader of the House:

Which five Peers asked the most Questions for Written Answer in the financial year ended 31 March 1997; how many each of them asked; and what was the total cost of answering the questions of each of these Peers.

The Lord Privy Seal (Lord Richard)

The information requested is as follows:

Lord Kennet	305
Lord Lester of Herne Hill	221
Lord Avebury	147
The Countess of Mar	105
Lord Hylton	100

To calculate the total cost of answering each Peer's Questions would involve disproportionate cost.
