#' House of Lords written questions
#'
#' Imports data on House of Lords written questions asked by a given peer(s),
#' and/or directed to a given department.
#'
#' @param peer_id Accepts a member ID or list of IDs, and returns a tibble
#' with all written questions asked by that member or members. If `NULL`,
#' peer_id is not included in the query to the API and so all written
#' questions are returned subject to other function parameters.
#' Defaults to `NULL`.
#'
#' @param answering_department Accepts a string with a department name or
#' partial name or a list of departmental names, and returns all written
#' questions by that department. The query acts as a search, so entering
#' `'health'` will return all questions answered by the Department of
#' Health. If `NULL`, answering_department is not included as a query
#' parameter. Defaults to `NULL`.
#'
#' @param start_date Only includes questions tabled on or after this date.
#' Accepts character values in `'YYYY-MM-DD'` format, and objects of
#' class `Date`, `POSIXt`, `POSIXct`, `POSIXlt` or
#' anything else that can be coerced to a date with `as.Date()`.
#' Defaults to `'1900-01-01'`.
#'
#' @param end_date Only includes questions tabled on or before this date.
#' Accepts character values in `'YYYY-MM-DD'` format, and objects of
#' class `Date`, `POSIXt`, `POSIXct`, `POSIXlt` or
#' anything else that can be coerced to a date with `as.Date()`.
#' Defaults to the current system date.
#' @inheritParams all_answered_questions
#' @return A tibble with details on written questions in the House of Lords.
