Immigration minister Gerd Leers is slowest to answer MPs questions

While ministries are supposed to answer MPs’ questions within three weeks, they take an average 33 days to come up with the necessary facts, according to research by the Volkskrant.


The paper looked at what happened to the 10,000 plus written questions submitted to the outgoing government since it took office at the end of 2010.
The slowest ministry to reply was Gerd Leer’s immigration department, which took an average 39 days to answer a question. Fastest was the social affairs ministry which took 28 days – still a week longer than required.
