Carers and pointlessness

May 20th, 2009 by Malcolm Payne


Well going through Hansard I just had to give this example of an utterly pointless question on 19th May followed by un utterly worthless answer:

Carers
Paul Rowen: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what recent discussions he has had with Ministerial colleagues on implementation of the National Carers Strategy 2008; and if he will make a statement. [275467]

Jonathan Shaw: To support the implementation of National Carers Strategy objectives, Ministers from all the signatory Departments have maintained close working relationships. To support this an inter-ministerial meeting is planned for early June.

The reference, if you can be bothered:
