AMMAN — Minister of Political and Parliamentary Affairs Khaled Kalaldeh said Wednesday that the government has responded to more than 96.7 per cent of MPs' questions since the beginning of the 17th Parliament session on February 10.

Kalaldeh said the government responded to 2,942 of the 3,056 queries that were directed to it, noting that some questions required a longer period to be answered than others due to their nature and because some of them required a great deal of information from more than one official party, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
