Naming and Shaming

As with the House of Commons, Members of the House of Lords can submit questions for written answer (QWAs). These should be answered within 14 days. Each day a list is published in the "House of Lords Business (a Green booklet setting out the days business; business to come in the forthcoming month - and which is full of useful information - visit here to see the document) - which lists Written questions unanswered after 10 working days. The dates when the questions were submitted (and in brackets when the answer should have been given by) are given
