HC Deb 15 November 1971 vol 826 c36W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will take action to ensure that when Members of Parliament and the general public write to his Department they are not kept waiting for up to eight weeks for replies on straightforward matters.

Mr. Anthony Royle

I am not aware of the need for such action. If the hon. Member has any evidence to support his allegation, I shall be happy to investigate it.
