All Commons Lords

Enter an MP's name to view all written questions they have submitted. Written questions are formally addressed to government departments and require official written responses. In the House of Commons, these may be directed to the Secretary of State for a given department, or to a junior Commons Minister where the Secretary of State sits in the House of Lords. In the House of Lords, questions are addressed collectively to "His Majesty's Government" rather than to a specific Secretary of State or department.
