Mr. Pawsey

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what information his Department has on the length of time taken to respond to letters from hon. Members.

Mr. Peter Walker

My Department holds information on the date of letters, the date they are received in the Department and the date a reply issues for all correspondence from hon. Members since 1984. This enables aggregate information to be produced on the length of time taken to respond to Members' letters.
