§ Mr. Peter BottomleyTo ask the Prime Minister if guidance on procedure for Ministers gives advice or instructions on acknowledging and appropriately dealing with answers that miss the point or make unjustified allegations. [3926]
§ The Prime MinisterThe resolution on Ministerial accountability adopted by the House on 19 March 1997 says: "It is of paramount importance that Ministers give accurate and truthful information to Parliament, correcting any inadvertent error at the earliest opportunity." I expect all members of the Government to act in accordance with the Resolution.
