Written Answers to Questions
Wednesday 14 March 2007
Leader of the House
Departments: Work Permits
Mr. Clegg:
To ask the Leader of the House how many work permits were applied for by his Department in each of the last five years. [127716]
Mr. Straw:
None.
House of Lords: Reform
Mr. Redwood:
To ask the Leader of the House what options he has considered for the determination of salaries to elected numbers of a reformed House of Lords. [126876]
Mr. Straw:
Paragraph 9.11 of the White Paper said that the recommendations 119-124 and recommendation 126 of the Wakeham Royal Commission would be likely to be “guiding principles” for any changes to the remuneration of Members of the Lords.
Paragraph 10.35 of the White Paper explains that once there are firmer decisions on composition on whether Members of a reformed House should be salaried or receive expenses, the Government will discuss proposals with the other parties and then seek the advice of the Senior Salaries Review Body. Following the votes in the House of Lords on 14 March 2007 on composition of a reformed House, I propose to reconvene the cross-party group, which I chair, to assess the outcome of the debates in both Houses.
Legislation: Reviews
Norman Baker:
To ask the Leader of the House (1) if he will make it Government policy for the proposed departmental reviews of legislation to be published; [126949]
(2) if he will bring forward proposals to establish a new Parliamentary Joint Committee on post-legislative scrutiny; [126950]
(3) when he expects to publish the Government’s response to the Law Commission’s report on post-legislative scrutiny. [126952]
Mr. Straw:
Recommendations for the establishment of a joint committee on post-legislative scrutiny, and for greater commitment from Government Departments to post-enactment reviews of legislation, are contained in the Law Commission report on Post-legislative Scrutiny (Cm 6945). These and the other recommendations in the report are under active consideration by the Government. A response to the report will be issued in due course.
