The Committee wrote to Government Departments in May 2001, asking them to explain why they refused to provide information in response to some Parliamentary questions. Only seven responses were received by November 2001 and the last one was received in March 2002 and this long delay is unacceptable. The Committee recommends that where Departments withhold information under an exemption of the Code of Practice, they should cite the relevant exemption in their written answers. Wherever possible, the full answer to a written question should be placed on the official record. One of the reasons given for withholding information is "commercial confidentiality", for instance, in connection with PFI and PPP matters, but openness should be given a higher priority. It is recommended that a Member should be able to ask the Committee to refer unsatisfactory answers to questions back to the Department concerned. At the request of the Leader of the House, a quarterly report is now prepared about the number of questions which remain unanswered at the end of a Session, and another quarterly report is prepared regarding "I will write" answers. These reports should be published in the interests of transparency. The Committee agrees with the Procedure Committee, that there should be a daily quota per member of five named day questions. This should improve the speed and quality of answers. It is hoped that this report, and those in successive sessions, on parliamentary questions, should be debated in the House.

This is the sixth report on ministerial accountability and parliamentary questions. Although it acknowledges the greater presumption to openness since the mid-1990s, it notes the contrast between information presented to Parliament and information laid before the Hutton Inquiry. The report provides data on questions for which information was withheld and the working of the system of complaints about unsatisfactory answers. The report also compares departmental guidance on how to answer Parliamentary Questions and makes recommendations on best practice.

The prerogative powers of ministers include some of the most important functions of government, such as decisions on armed conflict and the conclusion of international treaties. This report describes how such powers have come to be delegated. It also concludes that they should be more closely regulated. It proposes that the government should prepare a list of all prerogative powers, which would be considered by a parliamentary committee. Appropriate legislation, with any required statutory safeguards, would then be put into place. A draft Bill is appended to the report.

In most countries, parliament has the constitutional mandate to both oversee and hold government to account. In light of the increased focus on good governance, academics and legislative strengthening practitioners are re-examining parliament's oversight function with a view to increasing public financial accountability, curbing corruption, and contributing to poverty reduction. This volume brings together research from many different perspectives and many different legislative settings worldwide. As the country case studies in section III demonstrate, the accountability mechanisms or oversight tools available to the legislature vary based on constitutionally defined powers of the legislature, institutional arrangements between the branches of government, divisions of authority between national, regional, and local governments, the degree of legitimacy conferred on the legislature, and the resources available to it. The budget process provides critical opportunities. Section II of this volume is devoted to examining budget oversight from the formulation and approval of the budget, to implementation and the ex post examination of the public accounts. Special attention is also paid to mechanisms to assist parliaments such as Public Accounts Committees and independent parliamentary budget offices. This title will be of interest to parliamentarians and parliamentary staff, legislative strengthening practitioners, and students of legislative development.

"The objective of this report is to identify and establish a roadmap on how to do that, and lay the groundwork for transforming how this Nation- from every level of government to the private sector to individual citizens and communities - pursues a real and lasting vision of preparedness. To get there will require significant change to the status quo, to include adjustments to policy, structure, and mindset"--P. 2.
