§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many letters he wrote to and received from hon. Members in January.
§ Mr. BrittanThe available records do not distinguish between those letters received which were addressed to me and those addressed to other Home Office Ministers, but I estimate that I received about 500 letters from hon. Members in January. I wrote 130 letters to hon. Members over the same period. These figures do not include correspondence with other Government Ministers on Government business.
