asked the Leader of the House:

Further to her Written Answer on 17 January (WA 107) in reply to a Question asking why 64 Written Questions were overdue for Answer on 6 December 2007, why there remained 51 overdue Questions on 16 January. [HL1656]

My office continues to work closely with departments to address the issue of outstanding Questions for Written Answer and to ensure they are answered accurately and wherever possible within the 14-day deadline. On Thursday 7 February there remained 32 Written Questions overdue for Answer.
