It will be interesting to note how many of the Australian contingent tried chookhouse as a potential seed word…

That would be most unusual. One of the Minister's secretary's responsibilities in ok-ing the reply is to ensure that the reply does not lose a vote. Politicians take the view that every vote counts.
However, I am familiar with the handling of Ministerial correspondence by the Minister's Offices of both persuasions. Only a small percentage of the incoming correspondence goes into the minister's in-tray - personal letters and matters of high policy. The rest gets shuffled out to the relevant department for a reply drafted by a mid to lower level clerk. The draft is vetted by a Section and Branch head for accuracy and tone and sent to the Minister's Office. One of his private Secretaries will vet it for political correctness and the Minister's signature is put on the reply electronically and dispatched.
People unfamiliar with parliamentary offices that watch Yes, Minister laugh and think it couldn't really be like that. It is.
