HL Deb 06 April 2004 vol 659 c219WA
Lord Jopling

asked the Leader of the House:

What explanation she has received during her weekly inquiries of departments about questions for Written Answer which have not been answered in the standard two weeks from the Department of Health which answered a Question by the Baroness Finlay of Llandaff on 29 March, seven weeks after it was tabled on 9 February. [HL2258]

Baroness Amos

As is usual practice, the Question was discussed at Front-Bench meetings after the two-week deadline had passed.

In addition, I received a copy of the letter sent from Lord Warner to Baroness Finlay of 5 March apologising and giving an explanation for the delay in answering the Question.
