Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many parliamentary questions tabled in the last Session of Parliament were not answered on the grounds that the information sought was not held centrally by the Department.

Mr. Robert G. Hughes

During the last Session of Parliament, there were 40 occasions when parliamentary questions tabled to my Department received the answer that all or part of the information requested was not held centrally. This represents 5.18 per cent. of the total questions asked.
