Motion text

That this House deplores the denial of public access to a large amount of information of public interest supplied in letters from Next Steps agencies to honourable Members in reply to Parliamentary Questions; notes that such information would in the past have been given by Ministers in written answers published in the Official Report, and is now available only in the monthly booklet Open Lines, published with the financial support of the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust; and calls for urgent action to ensure that this information, whether supplied by Ministers or by agencies, is in future published in the Official Report and not in a separate publication, whether official or not.
