When Sheep Bark: The Parliamentary Labour Party, 2001-2003

3 April 2003

The House of Commons Library has recently compiled statistics relating to the numbers of parliamentary questions and debate contributions made by MPs for the period 13 June 2001 to 7 November 2002. The average number of contributions in the House of Commons Chamber and Westminster Hall (a parallel debating chamber) was 23, the average for oral parliamentary questions 10 and, for written parliamentary questions 103. The figures in relation to my self are 45 debate contributions, 11 oral questions and 360 written questions.
