Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many Written Answers published in the Official Report of the House of Lords since 1 January have required to be corrected in later Official Reports; and what steps have they taken to reduce such incidents. [HL3581]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

As far as I am aware there have been nine occasions since 1 January 2003 whereby theOfficial Report of the House of Lords has had to be corrected in later Official Reports. All government departments recognise the importance of ensuring that all Parliamentary Questions are answered accurately in accordance with the requirements of the Ministerial Code.
