§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why it took him until 14th November to reply to the communication sent to him on 21st October containing complaints by Mrs. Walter Leaf of the delays in his Department in answering telephone calls; and what information was not available within a few days of receipt of the hon. Member's letter.
§ Mr. LaneI am sorry that some short delay was occasioned by the large volume of Members' correspondence at the time and by the move of the Immigration and Nationality Department to Croydon.
