§ Mr. RedwoodTo ask the President of the Board of Trade when she expects to answer the questions from the hon. Member for Wokingham tabled for answer on 29 October 1997 (reference 13046 and 13042). [29535]
§ Mrs. BeckettThe right hon. Gentleman received an answer to his question 13046 on 29 October 1997,Official Report, column 826.
440WAs regards his question 13042, I replied yesterday.
I apologise that the original question was not picked up by my Parliamentary Branch. Each morning notice of questions is now obtained electronically from HMSO. However the system has no trace of having received electronically question 13042. Steps are being taken to ensure that this does not recur.
