This book was released on 2002 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee wrote to Government Departments in May 2001, asking them to explain why they refused to provide information in response to some Parliamentary questions. Only seven responses were received by November 2001 and the last one was received in March 2002 and this long delay is unacceptable. The Committee recommends that where Departments withhold information under an exemption of the Code of Practice, they should cite the relevant exemption in their written answers. Wherever possible, the full answer to a written question should be placed on the official record. One of the reasons given for withholding information is "commercial confidentiality", for instance, in connection with PFI and PPP matters, but openness should be given a higher priority. It is recommended that a Member should be able to ask the Committee to refer unsatisfactory answers to questions back to the Department concerned. At the request of the Leader of the House, a quarterly report is now prepared about the number of questions which remain unanswered at the end of a Session, and another quarterly report is prepared regarding "I will write" answers. These reports should be published in the interests of transparency. The Committee agrees with the Procedure Committee, that there should be a daily quota per member of five named day questions. This should improve the speed and quality of answers. It is hoped that this report, and those in successive sessions, on parliamentary questions, should be debated in the House.

Public Administration Select Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2005 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the seventh report on Ministerial Accountability and Parliamentary Questions and the last that covers the workings of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information, as in January 2005 this Code was superseded by the Freedom of Information Act. Amongst its conclusions are a concerned that departments have failed to honour fully their undertaking to provide specific Code exemption when they failed to give answers on public interest grounds. The Committee will monitor the effect of the Freedom of Information Act but believes that Cabinet Office guidance is inconsistent with earlier practice and should be reconsidered. The Committee also recommend that there should be an annual report of departmental performance on named-day questions and they strongly deplore and attempt to use the new arrangements of dealing with Questions before Prorogation as a means of avoiding answering a Question.

Book excerpt: The prerogative powers of ministers include some of the most important functions of government, such as decisions on armed conflict and the conclusion of international treaties. This report describes how such powers have come to be delegated. It also concludes that they should be more closely regulated.

Appropriate legislation, with any required statutory safeguards, would then be put into place. A draft Bill is appended to the report.
