Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, when his Department intends to reply to the letter of 8 July to the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster from the Right Honourable Members for Ashton-under-Lyne and Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford.

I refer the Rt Hon Member to the (then) Prime Minister's letter of 21 July to the Liaison Committee relating to his appearance before the Liaison Committee on 6 July. A copy of this letter was placed in the Library of the House and has been published by the Committee.
