Written Parliamentary Questions - Procedure Committee Contents


Response from Hugh Robertson MP

  Thank you for your email about inadequate answers to WPQs. I have just received two, which I enclose, from the Prime Minister, which are deliberately obstructive and unhelpful.

  This reception was, presumably, publicly funded, so there is no reason why this information should not be available in the public domain. I have filed a Freedom of Information request but the Table Office tell me that 10 Downing Street is the most obstructive of all the Government departments.

27 Oct 2008

  Hugh Robertson: To ask the Prime Minister, how many (a) Government Ministers, (b) opposition politicians and (c) members of the (i) London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games, (ii) Olympic Delivery Authority and (iii) British Olympic Authority boards were invited to the No. 10 Reception for Team GB following the Beijing Olympics. [230849]

  The Prime Minister: I hosted a reception for Team GB at Lancaster House; guests were invited from a range of political and sporting fields, including those involved in the preparations for London 2012.

  Hugh Robertson: To ask the Prime Minister, further to his Answer of 27 October 2008, Official Report, column 666W, on the Olympic Games, if he will provide the names of all those who were (a) invited to and (b) attended the reception for Team GB at Lancaster House. [232278]

  The Prime Minister: I have nothing further to add to the answer I gave the hon. Member on Monday 27 October, Official Report, column 666W
