Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.
Recommendation (the Committee's words)
The first paragraph of Questions of Procedure for Ministers (QPM) should be amended to say: 'It will be for individual Ministers to judge how best to act in order to uphold the highest standards. It will be for the Prime Minister to determine whether or not they have done so in any particular circumstance.'
