Readers may remember that on 13 June, I tabled the following question:
“To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, which of the 66 charities, other than the Smith Institute, which have organised events at No. 11 Downing Street since 1997 has used it most frequently.”
On 19 June, I received the following answer from John Healey, Financial Secretary to the Treasury:
“I shall let the hon Member have a reply as soon as possible."
I have now received the following from Mr Healey, which is presumably meant to be the substantive response:
“Many charities have used No. 11 on multiple occasions. Any charities who use or want to use 11 Downing Street can apply for more extended access if this is their wish and subject to availability.”
Forgive me if I seem picky, but he doesn’t seem to be answering the question I asked. I have therefore tabled the following further question today:
“Pursuant to the Answer of 25 June, 2007, Official Report, column 361W, on 11 Downing Street: Charities, if he will state, in respect of each of the charities which have used 11 Downing Street on multiple occasions, on how many occasions such charity has used it.”
Needless to say, I shall keep readers fully informed of developments.
