§ Mr. Gareth Wardellasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish in the Official Report for the latest year for which information is available, for each right hon. and hon. Member with constituencies in Scotland, the arithmetic mean in days that his Department took to reply to letters.
§ Mr. RifkindThe information requested by the hon. Member could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. I would, however, refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Member for Ayr (Mr Younger) to the hon. Member for Monklands, West (Mr. Clarke) on Monday 15 July 1985 at column37.
