§ Mr. WinnickTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security when the hon. Member for Walsall, North will receive a reply to his letter of 26 October (ref 6/3644/43) and to his letter of 25 October (ref 6/3644/55) and the two letters of 1 November concerning constituents; and if he will give the reason for the delay in answering and why no acknowledgments were sent for the last two letters.
§ Mr. BurtI have now sent replies to the hon. Member's letters. Increased levels of correspondence on child support have meant that replies are in some instances taking longer than usual. The temporary lapse in the issue of acknowledgment cards resulted from a computer error.
