Conduct Of The Minister Without Portfolio
EDM number 405 in 1997-98, proposed by Gillian Shephard on 06/11/1997.
That this House notes the extraordinary reluctance of the Minister without Portfolio to answer questions in this House; questions whether a Minister can be said to be accountable to Parliament when he has yet to answer oral questions from honourable Members of Parliament; calls on the Prime Minister to ensure the proper accountability of his Ministers at all times; and looks forward to the Minister, the honourable Member for Hartlepool, meeting his commitment to account for his policy and actions to this House, by doing so for a longer period than a mere five minutes every few weeks.
This motion has been signed by a total of 117 MPs.
