HL Deb 21 October 1999 vol 605 c142WA
Lord Stoddart of Swindon

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they intend to reply to a letter sent by the Lord Stoddart of Swindon to Mr Paul Boateng (then Minister of State at the Home Office) on 14 May (reminder sent 13 July); if so, when; and, if not, why not. [HL4169]

Lord Bassam of Brighton

I apologise for the fact that a reply was not sent to the letter of 14 May. This was entirely due to an administrative error. I will now arrange for a reply to be sent straightaway.
