Written Parliamentary Questions - Procedure Committee Contents


Memorandum submitted by Derek Wyatt MP (Session 2006-07, P 7)

  1.  It is boring that we passed the Electronic Signature Act in 2002 but still we cannot sign EDMs electronically. Why not?

  2.  MPs should be restricted to six named day and six anyday within reason Questions a day. MPs just use their researchers to file 50 or more Questions a week as though you cannot find this information out either by asking the Library or using the Freedom of Information Act.

  3.  Sadly too many Answers are anodyne—that's how the Researchers in Government Departments are taught (based on the principle of the "Admit Nothing Protocol")
